1. REDUCE ANXIOUS FEELINGS. This is one of the most common uses of Essential Oils.  Lavender and Frankincense are two of the best Essential Oils for reducing anxious feelings. Add 3 drops of Lavender and 1 drop of Frankincense to your diffuser and fill with water, then diffuse for 20 minutes to fight anxiety. Stress Easy is amazing for this as well!

2. SHOWER LIKE YOU’RE AT A SPA. Flick a few drops of Essential Oil onto each wall in your shower and your shower door/curtain.  Roll up a small hand towel, lightly soak in water, and add a few drops of Essential Oil onto the towel. Place the towel on your shower caddy, as close to head level as you can get it. Turn on your shower to the hottest and leave it running for a few seconds until the shower steams. After that, set the heat to your desired temperature. Ta-da, you’ve got a steam shower. Try different Essential Oils and see what you love most.  Our favorites are Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint.

3. STOP AN ITCH. Combine 1 drop each of Tea Tree, Lavender, and Peppermint with a dime size amount of aloe gel and apply to bug bite or irritated area to stop the itch and calm redness.

4. IMPROVE OR SUPPORT UPSET STOMACH. Peppermint is amazing for the digestive system.  Apply a few drops to a warm cloth and place on your stomach or add 3 drops to a carrier oil and massage onto the uncomfortable area.

5. GET RESTFUL SLEEP. This is also a very common use of Essential Oils & Blends. REVIVE Sleep, Copaiba, and Lavender are all great for sleep.  Fill your diffuser with water and add 3-6 drops of one of these Essential Oils. Diffuse 30 minutes to one hour before bedtime.  Another favorite is massaging a few drops of the chosen Essential Oils and a carrier oil onto the bottom of your feet, wrists, chest, or forehead. 

6. UNCLOG SINUSES NATURALLY.  Inhaling diffused Peppermint oil helps unclog your sinuses and offers relief from a scratchy throat. REVIVE Breathe Air is great for opening airways. Mix 2 drops with a carrier oil and apply to temples and around the ears. 

7. RELIEVE THE STRESS OF A LONG DAY. If you’re already feeling stressed/anxious or if you know today is going to be a long or stressful day – REVIVE can help.  Rub 2 drops of REVIVE Stress Easy blended with a carrier oil directly onto your temples, wrists, or neck.  Alternatively, you can inhale the oil straight from the bottle or use in a diffuser.  Lavender is great for easing stress as well. Apply a few drops to your diffuser jewelry and sniff as needed.

8. CREATE A NATURAL DISINFECTING SPRAY.  Fill a 2 oz spray bottle ¼ of the way full with witch hazel or white vinegar.  Add 10-15 drops of REVIVE Immunity Boost and fill the rest of the way with water. Shake. Spray on counters, door knobs, toys, the sink, etc. to help kill germs.

9. MAKE A NATURAL AIR FRESHENER. Combine 1 cup of distilled water with 8  drops of Lemon and 4 drops of Tea Tree in a spray bottle.  Shake well then spray as needed. 

10. SOOTHES MUSCLES AFTER A DAY OF WORK OR AFTER A WORKOUT.  Mix a few drops of coconut oil with 2 drops of Peppermint in the palm of your hand.  Rub wherever you need it. Copaiba is anti-inflammatory and is a natural analgesic that when combined with coconut oil reduces pain and inflammation as well. For greater relief, try Peppermint and Copaiba combined.

11. WAKE UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED EVERYDAY.  Fill your diffuser with water and add 3 drops of Lemon and 3 drops of Peppermint .  Diffuse for 20 minutes.

12. AS AN AFTERNOON PICK ME UP.  To your diffuser, add your water and 6 drops of Lemon Essential Oil. Diffuse for 20 minutes.

13. RELIEVE OR REDUCE HEADACHES.  Apply a few drops of Peppermint, Frankincense, or Lavender mixed with coconut oil to your temples, the back of your neck, and forehead. Or diffuse for 30 minutes or until the headache is relieved.

14. SEASONAL ALLERGY RELIEF.  Don’t let allergies slow you down.  For most, Essential Oils are a better alternative to harmful chemicals as a way to deal with allergies.  REVIVE Breathe Air, Peppermint, Frankincense, and Lemon are good essential oils to use.  Diffuse as needed or rub 3 drops combined with a carrier oil onto the chest or neck.

15. TO SOOTHE A SUNBURN.  Ouch!  Combine 2 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Copaiba with one tablespoon of coconut oil or aloe and apply to the sunburn to reduce swelling and pain and improve skin health.  Apply directly or with a cotton ball.

But if a little grease remains, repeat with a few drops of Lemon, rub in and rewash before putting it in the dryer.

25. FOR LAUNDRY: NATURALLY SCENT YOUR CLOTHING.  Add 2–4 drops of Lavender to unscented dryer sheets, wool dryer balls, or a clean washcloth to add a fresh scent to your laundry.

42. TO IMPROVE CIRCULATION. Our circulatory system is in charge of moving our blood through our body, as well as oxygen, nutrients, and other compounds that help you function.  When this flow is disrupted, you can suffer from a variety of health problems.

Valentine’s Day is an ideal time to revisit your most primitive of the 5 senses. Hundreds of years ago, our sense of smell was a key part of courtship; and now, we can use it to improve the mood in almost any situation. When looking to set the tone for this holiday, there are certain Essential Oils that can help encourage feelings of romance.

Ylang Ylang

This sweet and sultry oil is derived from the beautiful Madagascar flower that is placed on newlyweds’ beds due to its reputation to boost the libido. Ylang Ylang can melt away stress and tension while creating comfort and connection.

Geranium

Geranium oil is another one that is wonderful for regulating hormones. It can also encourage feelings of happiness. Together, these benefits may aid in increased intimacy and creating a sexual bond.

The day has come to gather around the table and be grateful for the blessings in our lives. Whether we are celebrating with family, friends, or alone, Essential Oils can help stir feelings of gratitude and well-being. Here are some of our favorite oils and blends to use on Thanksgiving.

Sweet Orange

If you want happiness in a bottle, this is it. Sunshiny and bright, Sweet Orange is an uplifting and cheerful oil. This citrus oil is also great for purifying the air and cleaning. Safe for dogs and kids, this Essential Oil is also a wonderful addition to so many other oils, and helps create a balanced blend.

Coriander

This fragrant Essential Oil is invigorating and stimulating while still promoting relaxation. Like other spice oils, it produces a warming effect that some even say encourage feelings of love. This oil is also great for indigestion, which is a common issue that arises after eating a big meal such as Thanksgiving dinner.

Ginger

Ginger Essential Oil is spicy and warm and perfect for the cooler months. It helps provide a boost of energy and promotes feelings of strength and confidence. Spiritually, we like Ginger oil for expressing gratitude. Additionally, this oil is helpful for nausea and aiding in digestion.

REVIVE Home

This blend was specifically designed to encourage connection and create feelings of comfort and calm. When entertaining family and friends for this November holiday, diffusing Home can really bring forth tender emotions and promote togetherness.

Digest Support

So you have had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, and of course dessert, and now your stomach is full and upset. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us… and it is totally treatable with your trusty Essential Oils. Digest Support is incredibly helpful for digestive woes. Simply add a few drops of Digest Support to a carrier oil and massage onto the abdomen to encourage relief.

Feeling Grateful Diffuser Recipe

100 ml Water in your REVIVE Diffuser
1 drop Ginger Essential Oil
2 drops Coriander Essential Oil
3 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Candy Cane Sugar Scrub

4 oz Glass Jar
1 C Sugar
½ C Sweet Almond Oil
7 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
5 drops Spearmint Essential Oil
7 drops Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Optional: Crushed Candy Cane

In a glass bowl, mix together the drops of Essential Oils with the Almond oil. Once combined, stir in the sugar until smooth. If using crushed candy cane pieces, mix them in now. Scoop the mixture into the jar and close the container tightly. Decorate with red ribbon and a mini candy cane tied to the jar.

There are so many wonderful ways to use Essential Oils and we are going to delve into the best ways to use them topically below. Knowing how to topically apply essential oils will help you understand how and when to use it.

Topically

Wearing Essential Oils topically is what we might call a double whammy. Not only do you get the benefit of aromatic use when you put the oils on most areas, but you also get absorption into your body. Essential Oils have a very low molecular weight and can easily enter the dermis through skin application. This means that once the Essential Oils are applied, they enter into the bloodstream and can help with internal issues. The best way to do this is to add the oil blend to a carrier of your choice. Some carrier options may be a nut or seed oil like Grapeseed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, or Jojoba Oil. In addition, you could use an unscented natural lotion, soap, or even a compress. The effects of topical application begin in about 3-5 minutes and last up to about 90 minutes.

Ways to Use Essential Oils Topically

• Using an aromatherapy roll-on
• In a massage oil
• In a bath
• In a balm/salve
• As a natural perfume
• In a soap or a lotion
• On a compress

In general, topical application is ideal for physical issues. If you had muscle pain, a pain relieving balm made with anti-inflammatory essential oils like Sore No More applied to the area would be the best option for you. REVIVE’s Headache Relief Roll-on would be the perfect choice to apply to your temples to alleviate your headache because the Essential Oils would soothe head and neck tension on the spot. Or if you have an upset stomach, adding REVIVE’s Digest Support to a carrier oil and applying in a circular motion to your torso, could really help ease the pain.

Other Topical Applications:

• Applying Cycle Calm diluted to your lower abdomen when having menstrual cramps
• To pulse points, apply Energy mixed with a carrier oil to help give you a boost before a workout
• Use REVIVE’s Gorgeous Blend as an alluring perfume
• Add 5 drops of Sunkissed to Aloe Vera and apply after getting a little too much sun

Mix REVIVE’s Allergy Relief with coconut oil and rub onto chest when seasonal allergies start to act up

There are so many wonderful ways to use Essential Oils and we have the best ways to use essential oils aromatically below.  Knowing how each of these essential oils work aromatically, will help you understand how and when to use that approach.

Aromatically

This umbrella term is used for the easiest and safest way of using Essential Oils. It describes the process of inhaling the oils through your nose and into the olfactory bulb where it messages the limbic system and your brain determines how to react. Essentially, this is how the chemical compounds of the Essential Oil tell the body how to respond emotionally, physically, or mentally. This entire procedure is very fast triggering a reaction in as little as one second! Using oils aromatically is a great option for improving your mood quickly and easily.

Ways to use Essential Oils Aromatically

• Smelling oils directly from the bottle
• Using an Essential Oil diffuser
• Wearing aromatherapy diffuser jewelry
• Burning a pure Essential Oil candle or scent warmer
• Steam inhalation
• Diffuser sprays
• Nasal inhaler

As you can see, there are countless ways to use Essential Oils through inhalation. It is usually dependent upon what goal you are trying to achieve that will determine what way to use your oils. For example, if you are looking to cleanse the air and freshen a space, you would want to use a diffuser with a blend like REVIVE’s Purify. Or if you are in the car and feeling a bit of motion sickness, you can use a personal nasal inhaler and smell the anti-nausea scent as needed just to yourself. Another great idea is to wear your REVIVE lava stone bracelet with Stress Easy to work, and during an anxious time, inhale deeply to help calm and center your emotions.

Other Aromatic Applications:

• Using a diffuser spray to mist your bed with a Sleep Blend before bed
• Burning an aromatherapy candle to create a cozy atmosphere
• Adding a few drops of Breathe Air to hot water and inhaling over the bowl to clear sinuses

Having your child smell Brain Time right from the bottle before they begin their homework

One of the best things you can do to make your house feel more “homey” is to fill the rooms with a beautiful aroma. It makes the atmosphere so warm and inviting. For hundreds of years, people have been burning candles, but it began with the need for light, not for scent. Within the past 40 years, scented candles started to be a new and exciting option, offering many different fragrances to choose from. But, in more recent years since Aromatherapy has gained popularity, more and more people are choosing to use Essential Oil Diffusers in lieu of candles. Which is the better option? How do they differ? Let’s discuss what’s right for you.

Ambiance

Candles: If you are looking for a gentle glow, burning candles might come to mind. The low level lighting can be romantic or calming. In addition, the look of a candle or a group of candles can really add a decorative touch to your space.

Diffusers: Did you know that almost every single diffuser on the market has a built in light? Many of them cycle through different colors and offer the option to have the light on or off when in use. Plus, diffusers can be very ornamental, adding a little style to your home decor. If you happen to have one that is not the cutest design, you could always tuck it away until you use it.

Safety

Candles: Let’s be honest, having a fire burning in your home is not the safest idea! When using candles, you usually don’t keep an eye on them the entire time, leaving an open flame to chance. If you have a small child or pet, you might worry about the fire itself, the heat from the flame, or even the glass if it were to break.

Diffusers: No heat, no open flame, and with the Oasis Diffuser and many others, no glass. An incredibly safe option for scenting your space. No need to worry when left unattended. If you are at all unsure about the cord, you can always unplug in between uses. 

Toxins

Candles: Okay, so this totally depends on the type of candle you are using. There are so many different kinds out there that use safe vs unsafe ingredients. Candles that contain paraffin are highly toxic and environmentally unfriendly. Made from crude oil, then refined and bleached, paraffin candles contain several carcinogens. Soy and beeswax are safer choices, but always make sure they are 100% or they may still contain a small amount of paraffin. Also, most candles are scented with fake fragrances and colored with dyes that emit dangerous VOCs! Lastly, even if you are using a 100% soy based candle, you should know that over 90% of soy is GMO and sprayed with toxic pesticides. 

*A 100% beeswax unscented candle is the safest option because they are all natural and also offer negative ions.

Diffusers: An ultrasonic diffuser is not only toxin free, but it is actually a health promoting item. First, just like beeswax, the Oasis diffuser releases negative ions which help clear the air of allergens and increase serotonin encouraging happy feelings. Second, they do not contain any toxic ingredients, even the break proof plastic is BPA free. Lastly, the Essential Oils you use to scent the room with your diffuser are healthy, safe, and can even improve your mood. Remember, true aromatherapy is the benefits of pure Essential Oils… just because a candle is labeled “aromatherapy” doesn’t mean it’s made with just Essential Oils.

*Note: once you burn Essential Oils at high heat, the molecular structure changes and the therapeutic benefits of the oil may not remain. This is why a cool mist diffuser is your best option.

Scent

Candles: Yes, there are so many yummy smelling candles out there, but when you purchase the candle, it only offers the one scent you chose. If you want a different scent, you must buy another candle. In addition, sometimes the scent can be too strong, overwhelming the space or causing a headache. Finally, when you put out the candle, there is a resonating scent of smoke.

Diffusers: Create any and all scents you like! When you have a diffuser, you can make any blend you choose or simply diffuse a single oil. If you have created one you don’t like, simply dump it out and start again. Another great feature is that the scent flow is steady. The same amount of scent is released from the beginning of your session until the end. Also, because it is all natural essential oils, the smell will create a positive effect and not a negative one.

Cost

Candles: A very wide range of pricing starting at $1 for something you might find at the dollar store up to almost one hundred dollars for a large decorative candle. Most average between $10-25 each. This may seem like a less expensive option, but remember, you only get one scent per candle. This could quickly add up the more scents that you purchase.

Diffusers: Yes, this is definitely the costlier choice on the front end. The price of the diffuser itself can range from $15-75 with REVIVE’s Oasis Diffuser coming in at only $40. And then you have to add in the upfront cost of the Essential Oils. But the good news is, you can start slowly. Purchase a blend or two and add more as your budget allows. On the back end, a 5 hour diffusion time costs only pennies as the diffuser calls for only 5 drops of oil! In the long term, a diffuser is definitely more cost effective.
Now that you know how the benefits of using a diffuser outweigh the use of candles, where do you start? REVIVE offers a perfect Basics Kit that is an incredible value, including the Oasis Ultrasonic Diffuser, 3 of the most popular single oils, and 3 favorite oil blends. We also really love the Happy Home Kit for creating a wonderful mood in your house. With 3 different useful oils, you can choose to bring happiness, comfort, or even purify the air.

Sometimes recreating our favorite outdoor scents can really help us feel better when we have to be inside. These blends are inspired by the great outdoors.

As the weather gets cooler and drier, our skin becomes dried out as well. Sometimes our lips begin to chap a bit and need a little extra TLC. Exfoliating regularly encourages growth of fresh skin cells. And when you add moisturizing ingredients to that exfoliator, you get soft and supple lips to boot. Here is an easy DIY Lip Scrub recipe that smells amazing and works really well.

About the Ingredients:

Brown Sugar is used as the exfoliator. It is a small jagged but gentle crystal that can slough off dead skin cells. Alternatively you could use Coconut Sugar or Caster Sugar. Honey is full of antioxidants, tastes good, and soothes dry skin. Fractionated Coconut Oil is great for locking in moisture without creating breakouts. The Chai Essential Oil blend (pick your favorite here) adds a spicy, warm scent and flavor.

How to Make:

In a small bowl, mix together all of the drops of the Essential Oils with the Fractionated Coconut Oil. In a separate bowl, combine the honey with the brown sugar. Mix in the oil blend to the sugar blend and stir well. Place the mixture in a container with a lid and close tightly.

How to Use:

Over a sink, scoop out a small amount of the scrub and massage onto lips in little circles. Use warm water to wash away completely. Apply a lip balm to soothe if desired. Use as needed

One of the worst things in the world is being sound asleep, in the middle of a wonderful dream, when all of a sudden, you are rudely awakened with “HUNGGG SHOOO!” Snoring is a huge cause of sleeplessness and marital fights. Unfortunately, it is reported that up to 40% of men and 24% of women snore as an adult. So, what is a person to do when their partner is keeping them awake all night?

One of the greatest benefits of some Essential Oils is their ability to help support the respiratory system. Many oils can aid in clearing airways and calming congestion, but it is helpful to know the conditions causing the snoring. Whether it be a cold/allergies, tissues relaxing in the throat, or sleep apnea, there are several Essential Oils that may contribute to lessening the nighttime noises.

Congestion

A huge factor in snoring for many individuals is congestion. This may be a result of a stuffed up nose or grumbly chest from a cold or allergies. The good news is that there are a few key oils that can encourage clear breathing to help eliminate snoring.

Eucalyptus

This aromatic and camphorous oil is a wonderful decongestant and expectorant. Inhaling this Essential Oil can help clear mucus, ease coughing, and open nasal passageways. It is also said that Eucalyptus can help prevent sinus infections, which is incredibly beneficial if you have a cold.

Cedarwood

Not only is this Essential Oil great for encouraging sleep, it is also a good choice for relieving congestion. Cedarwood oil can aid in opening airways by reducing phlegm production. It is also an anti-inflammatory that can soothe the respiratory system.

Simply Snoring

Experts say that many people are just built for snoring. This condition is genetic and men have more soft tissue in their airways that makes them more prone to snoring. 

Thyme

Thyme Essential Oil is a great overall wellness type of oil. It is amazing for immune support and lung/respiratory health. Additionally, Thyme is antispasmodic, so it can relieve spasms that may be caused by tightening in the throat. This oil can be rather strong, so just a small amount is needed.

Marjoram

This calming herbal oil is great to help bring on relaxation, but also aids in respiratory support. It can help clear airways and make it easier to breathe. The added soothing support can also reduce the vibrations of the tissues that actually cause the sound from snoring.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that should be assessed by your doctor. The issues that arise can include loud frequent snoring with pauses and shallow breaths that can stop breathing up to 10 seconds at night. This causes lack of quality sleep that may affect the rest of your lifestyle.

Lavender

Because sleep apnea causes major disruptions in sleep patterns, it is important to encourage a sounder, softer sleep. Lavender oil has proven to be one of the best natural remedies for insomnia. It helps produce melatonin in the brain, which can also be useful for the partner of the snorer to induce sleep for them as well.

Peppermint

This minty fresh oil is a wonderful anti-inflammatory that can ease symptoms of sleep apnea. Peppermint is known to soothe irritation and relieve congestion.

How to Use

Now that you know which Essential Oils are best for your type of snoring, you need to know the best way to use them. One of the most recommended ideas is to diffuse the oils at night. Putting a few drops of your chosen oils in a diffuser that runs intermittently can take you through an entire night of relief. Optionally, you could apply your oils combined with a carrier oil to your feet or big toe. In reflexology, your feet are tied directly to your neck area, so using oils here can translate to less snoring. An easy way to do this would be to apply REVIVE Courage to your big toe before bed. Fun fact: a large oil company that makes an oil blend called Valor has reported a huge reduction in snoring when used on the big toe at night. Since Courage is our version of Valor, this could help you too!

For thousands of years the scent and allure of perfume has been a thing of magic and mystique. The word perfume came from the Latin, per fumus meaning “through smoke” because it originated with burning offerings to Gods. Across continents, perfumes became a part of religion and royalty, and soon spread to France which developed into the epicenter of the industry. Flowers and spices were cultivated for their essences, and perfumers created beautiful, but simple scents.

In the 19th Century, modern chemistry brought big changes to perfumery. Scents that were originally crafted from plants and natural solvents were now being made with synthetic ingredients. This may have offered more smells and options, but it also means fake fragrance and the potential effects from using toxic components. Nowadays, as we are more aware and conscious of what goes on and in our bodies, people are choosing to go back to the old ways and wear natural oils as perfumes. Here are some wonderful ideas to get you started on your holistic perfume journey. Learn which pre-crafted blends are lovely to scent your body or what single oils can be combined to create a natural perfume just for you.

REVIVE Synergy Blends

Fantastic

This citrus and floral blend is REVIVE’s version of doTERRA Citrus Bloom. It is soft and feminine but also helps encourage positivity and reduce tension. This scent is reminiscent of a sunny day in the Spring.

Gorgeous

Looking for a scent that will inspire a little excitement in your life? Gorgeous is REVIVE’s adaptation of doTERRA Passion. This blend is sweet, spicy, and warm to help encourage you to feel as gorgeous as you smell. This synergy already contains fractionated coconut oil, so just dab on your wrists and go.

Joy

Happiness in a bottle? Yes, please! Joy (similar to Young Living Joy) is a blissful blend of citrus, spice, and floral scents that are great for uplifting your mood. Containing both Rose and Jasmine, this smells romantic, exotic, and womanly.

Magnolia Roll-on

It happens for only a short time in the spring, but when the magnolias are in bloom, the scent in the air is hypnotic. Capture that feeling with this ready to use roller that contains Magnolia Essential Oil and fractionated coconut oil. Apply topically to calm the mind and smell incredible.

Love & Romance

What woman doesn’t want to be alluring once in a while? This blend is our version of Young Living Sensation and it does not disappoint. Warm and sensual, the scent inspires compassion, affection, and of course, romance.

REVIVE Single Oils

Rose Essential Oil

The scent of Rose is one of the most beautiful, decadent, and recognized in the world. Boasting a steep price tag, this oil is definitely an investment, but so worth it! A little goes a very long way, and can be used sparingly in blends to help you emit a soft but sexy vibe. Rose blends well with other florals and woodsy oils, and may provide you with emotional support when worn. 

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Sweet and rich, this oil was made for personal scents. Also known as the “perfume tree” in South Asia, these flowers are intoxicating and romantic. Producing feelings of comfort and love, Ylang Ylang oil has aphrodisiac properties. This scent can be very strong, so mixing with citrus or woodsy oils is suggested.

Jasmine Absolute

The enchanting scent of this night blooming flower has been popular the world over for thousands of years. The fragrance is sweet but sharp and, like other florals, can be overwhelming to a scent. Use only a bit in your blend and combine with citrus oils to enhance the smell. Jasmine is great for fighting negative feelings, so this can be a perfect oil for a daily perfume.

Sandalwood Essential Oil

Sandalwood is a warm and woodsy oil that can really ground a blend. Encouraging feelings of relaxation, this oil is beneficial for aromatherapy as well. A favorite in men’s blends, Sandalwood can be used in a variety of blends and mixes well with other woodsy oils or citrus.

How to Create a Perfume

Honestly, perfumery is a true talent and it can take many years to learn how to craft a perfect scent. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t give it a try. Fragrances fall in note categories and scent categories. A good blend has a balance of top, middle, and base notes, usually using at least one oil from each category. Top notes hit your nose first, but the scent fades quickly. These are mostly citrus and herb oils. Middle notes carry the tune and tie it together, usually floral oils. Base notes are the anchor of the scent, mostly woodsy and spice oils.

Scent categories can vary greatly, with fake fragrance scent mapping including man made smells like leather or lilac. When using only real Essential Oils and absolutes, the categories can be broken down into groups based on the type of scent. In general, the oils in the same group blend well together or with oils in the category next to it. Oftentimes, you will see these groups laid out into a scent wheel to determine what might smell good when put together in a blend.

Trial and Error

Can experimenting with your oils to create a personal perfume be fun? Yes! But will you also make mistakes and end up with something you don’t love? Yes! The trick is to use your oils sparingly so that you don’t waste them or waste money. By smelling the caps of the oil jars together you can get an idea of whether or not you like the combination. When you are ready to try it, you put a bit of oil onto a Q-tip and smell all of them together. By pulling a Q-tip forward or backward in the group, you can get an idea of what more drops or less drops might smell like. Lastly, when you are certain of what you want, you may begin mixing. Start slow! Add a single drop of your base notes, then the middle and top. Smell the blend after each addition and adjust accordingly.

Putting it all Together

Once you have created the perfect scent, you must decide how you want to wear it. If it will be used on aromatherapy jewelry, you are finished. If you will be wearing it topically, you must mix it with a carrier. Roll-ons are a great and easy option that are ready to use right away. A perfume spray can be made with an alcohol base, but should age for a while to develop and meld the scents. A solid perfume is a little more work, but makes a smart choice for Essential Oils because the wax base helps the natural scent last longer on your skin.

Roll-on: Add 10-15 drops of your oil blend to your empty glass roller bottle, then fill the rest of the way with Golden Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil then pop in the fitment and apply as desired.

Spray: In your clean glass 1 oz spray bottle, place about 25-30 drops of your oil blend, then fill the bottle halfway with a clear, scentless alcohol. Place top on and put in a cool dark place for 10-14 days remembering to swirl gently a few times. Once ready, fill the rest of the way with water and spray on as desired.

Solid: Use a clean tin with a lid for your container. In a double boiler, melt one part beeswax to one part Golden Jojoba Oil, then remove from heat. Add Essential Oil blend, stir with a glass or wooden stirrer, and pour mixture into tin. Let harden and apply as needed. If you use 1 teaspoon of each, 20 drops of your oil blend should be a good amount. If you prefer a softer solid, increase the amount of the jojoba in the recipe.
