 Essential Oil Blending FAQs 

What are essential oil blends?

Essential oil blends combine two or more essential oils to create a unique fragrance. Different oils offer different aromatic characteristics, from fresh citrus and floral notes to warm spices and woody scents. Blending allows you to experiment with these fragrances and create combinations for diffusers and other suitable home fragrance applications.

How do you make an essential oil diffuser blend?

Start by choosing essential oils with complementary aromas, such as orange and cedarwood or lavender and bergamot. Follow a suitable blending guide for the quantities and add the oils to your diffuser according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always check that each essential oil is suitable for your diffuser and follow the recommended usage guidance.

Can you mix different essential oils together?

Yes, many essential oils can be combined to create personalised fragrance blends. Citrus, floral, herbal and woody oils can complement one another, allowing you to experiment with different aromatic combinations. However, not every oil is suitable for every application, so always check the individual product guidance and any relevant safety precautions before blending.

How should you store essential oil blends?

Essential oil blends are best stored in tightly sealed, clearly labelled, essential oil-compatible bottles, ideally made from dark glass. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and the reach of children and pets. Always follow the storage guidance for the individual oils and avoid using blends that have noticeably changed in appearance or aroma.
