II. How to Mix
When mixing aromatherapy blends the first priority is healing. The longer you study, the more your knowledge will grow. Learn the basic chemistry and actions of all oils before you try them. Mix with an eye on safety; always dilute properly and learn which oils to avoid with particular conditions.
An affinity for numbers will help you mix oils safely and effectively. To be successful in aromatherapy, one need know about percentages and figuring out how those percentages transfer into a drop count, a tablespoon count or whatever is needed. Logic is also necessary. A logical question is: If one’s body reacts best to geranium oil, but also works well with other oils, how much geranium should go in the mix? Well, geranium is a very delicately scented oil. It would work well as a middle note but only in a large percentage. And geranium happens to be a very gentle oil which one can use safely in larger percentages. Alternately, substitute clove for geranium in the question. Clove is a very strong oil. One need not use a lot to get a good effect. In fact, with this particular oil less tends to have greater success. Clove oil can be dangerous if not very diluted. Therefore, the answer would be a much smaller percentage. And the rest of the answers for the blend lie in all those other oils one’s body reacts well to and the appropriate percentage of each of those in the particular mix. There may be more than one mix for some individuals.
Learning about people is vital to being an effective aromatherapist. There are standard blends that work well for most. Often there are blends that are great just for women, or just for men. Blends for children take extreme caution. The only oils that should be used for kids are lavender, roman chamomile, german chamomile, and mandarin. An older child might also get spearmint for chest infections. Obviously people are looking for all variety of answers: emotional healing; preventing and healing physical ills; attaining healthy, beautiful skin and hair; as an aid to sexuality; and more. Some people are looking for more than one answer in a product and that can be done with personalized aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy also takes creativity. Perfumery is a wonderful art. I consider aromatherapy to be the perfect marriage between herbology and perfumery. The basics of perfumery involve scent notes within a blend. There are no hard and fast rules. I often use many oils for each note: note blends within each basic note (top, middle, and base). It is similar to a chef knowing how to blend and cook each ingredient to not only taste the best, but also to attain the healthiest outcome for the body. Sometimes to achieve a healing goal it takes multifaceted layering of many oils. For some healing needs, a simpler blend works better. Learning which oils match takes much study and experimentation.
It takes a proper balance of talent, logic, intuition, and study to be a good aromatherapist. Practice makes for a brilliant aromatherapist.

III. Perfume Notes

Top notes are the first to hit the nose. They form the immediate impression of the scent. Some good top notes are: Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Mandarin, Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Basil.

Middle notes are the core of the blend and in general are mixed in a greater percentage than the top and base notes. Their scents take time to emerge. They add depth and a feeling of the unknown coming to light. Some good middle notes are: Lavender, Geranium, Rosewood, Cedarwood, and Rosemary.

Nice base notes are rich, heavy, and heady. Base notes surface slowly and linger. They often have fixative qualities which keep the lighter, more volatile oils from evaporating too quickly. Some good base note are: Benzoin, Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, Frankincense, and Myrrh.
