Blending recipes
Three accords. One drop at a time.
Begin with small aromatic studies, record every drop and discover how one careful adjustment can reshape the whole blend.
The idea to remember
A recipe is a starting point—not the final answer.
Prepare three labelled blotters for the individual materials and one for the finished accord. Build the formula in a small clean vial, cap it, roll gently and note the total number of drops.
Smell immediately, then after one hour and the next day. If you adjust, change only one material by one drop and create a new version rather than altering your only record.
Your practical method
Four steps to make the ritual repeatable.
01
Prepare
Use clean vials, pipettes or reducers, blotters and a dated formula page.
02
Build
Add base, then heart, then top notes; count aloud and check each line.
03
Pause
Cap and roll gently. Step away before judging the next change.
04
Record
Give every version a code and write the exact drops, total and evaluation times.
Three principal blend concepts
Small formulas with room to learn.
Each recipe makes a 10-drop aromatic concentrate for evaluation on a scent strip or in a closed study vial. It is not a ready-to-apply skin product.
Quiet Lavender
- Lavender — 5 drops · heart
- Sweet Orange — 3 drops · top
- Cedarwood Atlas — 2 drops · base
Forest Resin
- Frankincense — 4 drops · heart/base
- Cedarwood Atlas — 3 drops · base
- Sweet Orange — 3 drops · top
Drop-by-drop technique
Rebuild your chosen accord as version B. Change only one ingredient by one drop while keeping the total at 10—reduce another ingredient by one drop. Compare A and B on separate blotters after one hour.
Frequently asked
Before you continue.
Why are these recipes only aromatic concentrates?
Keeping the first study as a concentrate makes the ratios easy to understand. Decide the final application and safe dilution separately.
Can I substitute one material?
Yes, but treat it as a new formula. Replace one material at a time and record the change; the aroma and safety profile will differ.
Why evaluate again the next day?
Top notes appear quickly, while heart and base notes unfold more slowly. Resting reveals balance that the opening cannot show.
Can I apply the recipes to skin?
Not as written. These are concentrated scent studies. For topical use, check every material-specific restriction and calculate a suitable finished-product dilution first.
