Spring Scents
Quick reminder, if you are looking for ideas for a "spring blend".... to
me,
Linden Blossom Absolute is the scent of Spring, sweetly floral and
young. And the tradition "rites of spring" aromatic is Galbanum....the oil
of renewal, complex and multilayered...the warm growing scent of the
greenhouse.
Yummy. (I used
Jasmine Sambac in this one, although normally my favorite
is the
Grandiflora...am tempted to blend some into a solid perfume, it's
that pretty!)
add to some honey, carrier oil, whole milk or liquid soap…and addd to a warm
(not hot) bath. (Did you know that while warm baths are soothing and
relaxing, hot baths are stimulating?)
"STRESS RELIEF" Blend Commercial dupe
No...it's not a 'destressor'...see our Destress Synergy
for that...But a true and natural essential oil variant of a
popular commercial scent. Bright, fresh and springlike.
The original formula comes from a talented blender known as
Cat... we've tweaked a bit.. this makes a wonderful lamp or
diffuser blend.
measure by drops, The total will be approximately 1 1/2
ml.
Spearmint - 6
Bulgarian Lavender - 4

Pre Valentine Blends...
both from Elizabeth Millar
Celebration of Desire
2 parts Sandalwood
2 parts Ylang Ylang
1 part Jasmine
1 part Black Pepper
and
Surrender to Pleasure
1 part Patchouli
3 parts Rose
2 parts Bergamot
Touch my Heart(I can't find my source for this one, but it is
truly lovely.)
I'd use close to two ounces of carrier if
using this blend for a full body massage. (And remember to use
Bergamot FCF if using on the skin.) I'd prefer to use it in the
aromalamp, though.
SOUL NOURISHER:
Last Fall Aurie Jeffries shared the following blend:
I just received my last order today and I
can make my own favorite soul-nourishing blend now (equal parts
ylang ylang complete, jasmine sambac, and rose maroc - sweet,
fresh, warm and thoroughly delicious!!)
She calls it "soul nourishing"... I think it's sensuous and
romantic!
Sensual Massage Blend: (from Maggie Tisserand)
first
prepare the Vetiver Base Oil: to 100 mls of your favorite carrier
oil (we prefer Fractionated Coconut) add one or two drops of Vetiver.
Let stand overnight.
to 30 ml (one fl ounce) of the above carrier, add:
2 drops Sandalwood
2 drops Clary Sage
1 drop your favorite Ylangylang
and ONE drop of either Rose Otto or Jasmine Grandiflora.(the latter
addition is optional, but I would insist on the Rose.)

I wrote to Gabriel Mojay, and asked him for suggestions for blends people
could use to deal with the emotional aftermath of that awful Tuesday. He
graciously responded with several suggested blends, and permission to quote
them to you:
1. Grief that is coupled with emotional shock and stunned disbelief:
True
Lavender (5) Jasmine (3) Spikenard (2)
2. Grief in which an unbearable feeling of loss, overwhelming sadness,
and constant tears are most pronounced:
Rose (4)
Sandalwood (4) Neroli (2)
4. Grief that provokes a terrible feeling of anger and revenge: Roman Chamomile (3)
Rose (2) Bergamot (5) (or
Bergamot FCF, if the blend is to be applied to the
skin and exposed to the sun)
5. Grief that involves feelings of anxiety, dread and helplessness (for
spiritual courage): Thyme Linalol (3)
Lavender (3) Spikenard (2) Angelica Root (2) (or
Cedarwood, if the blend is to be applied to the skin
and exposed to the sun)
6. Grief that partly expresses itself as a need to nurture others, but in
so doing, forgetting one's own needs: Sweet Orange (4)
Marjoram (3)
Frankincense (3)
We all have our own favorite "amorous" blends, most of you know mine is
Sandalwood and
Rose. But we’ve searched our library for some suggestions
from some of our favorite authors.
I’m tempted by Valerie Cooksley’s "Love in a Mist" for use in the
aromalamp. She calls it "an aphrodisiac and euphoric blend for special
occasions" and recommends only 3 to 5 drops in a lamp. Diffusing would
certainly be overkill.
Elizabeth Millar, in The Fragrant Veil shares several romantic
blends.
The two that sound most appealing to me are "Love in the Clouds",
a diffuser blend which she describes as "an intoxicating combination for
lovers who wish to lose themselves and walk in the clouds"
That should be enough to set your aromatic imaginations loose and you
have plenty of time to gather together any missing oils to concoct your own,
personal love potions.
And then there’s always Karla’s famous "romance and intimacy" blend,
reprinted every year from this file.

Side note: Elizabeth Millar says that according to eastern folklore, a
massage with Ylang Ylang helps keep the breasts youthful and firm!!!
We've not tried this one but I thought I'd pass it along. And it is
bound to smell better than the blend of mint and black spruce hydrosols
that Suzanne Catty recommends as a "decollete mist" to enhance and tone
the bosom. Always remember to dilute the essential oil in your favorite
carrier oil before using!

Love Potion # 1
This formula came through on a list I'm on awhile ago. No attribution
was given, so I can't give proper credit. I almost didn't post it, but
it sounds just too good to pass over for Valentines:
"This is a deliciously sensous blend, perfect for a massage or as a
perfume.
Ingredients:
7 drops patchouli essential oil
5 drops ylang ylang essential oil
8 drops rose otto
45ml (1.5 ounces) carrier oil
Add all essential oils to a dark glass bottle and swirl to mix. Add the
carrier oil. Cap the bottle and roll it between your palms to gently mix
the essential oils with the carrier oil.
This oil can be used as either a massage oil or a perfume. If using as a
massage oil, this recipe will make enough oil for 2 massages. If using
as a perfume oil, dab a bit on your pulse points.
NOTE: We recommend using fractionated coconut as your carrier oil for
a massage, or use jojoba for a perfume oil. As with any skin care
product, please use caution when using a new handmade beauty product.
Just because something is natural does not mean that you won't have an
allergic reaction to one of the ingredients. Note the ingredients listed
in all recipes and avoid them if you know that you are allergic to one
of them."
My comment. I think the dilution given might be a bit too much for a
full body massage. I'd cut this back to perhaps the same amount of oils
in three or four ounces of carrier.

Child's Play
Sweet and light-hearted 3 Mandarine Red
4 Ylang- Ylang Complete
3 Lavender Mailette
May 2005
Mille Fleur (1000 flowers) Blend
Back when I made soap, this was a popular one. My goal was an old
fashioned "English Garden" type of aroma. Turns out people raved about its
effect on combination skin.
Bulgarian Lavender 8 parts
Geranium 2 parts
Rosewood 1 part
Roman Chamomile 1 part
(I normally add both Mimosa Wax and Rose Wax to the soap, to
further enrich the scent, so perhaps adding just a touch of Cassie
Absolute and Rose Absolute would bring it closer to the original.)

PMS Perfumery
Margie Curtiss recently wrote:
I accidentally stumbled on something
that smells absolutely wonderful and is
emotionally healing at the same time!
My 13 year old daughter can be quite grumpy around her monthly
cycle. When I
received my latest order I was looking to make up a blend to help
her...well,
I found it! It may not have been the best cramp formula, but her
emotions
have calmed considerably with the use of this blend. Marissa has
never been this
pleasant in the mornings. I am in awe, truly!
5 drops clary sage
2 drops jasmine sambac
4 drops geranium
8 drops lavender
2 drops fennel
3 drops vanilla bourbon
2 drops violet leaf
6 drops ylang ylang
Blended in 15ml of the fractionated coconut oil,
I rubbed it on her abdomen and
chest.
This is a beautiful scented blend, I am rubbing it on myself and
can't stop
smelling my arms! It seems to hold together for several hours too,
so it works
as a perfume.
You simply must try this!

Ocean Blend
It started out as an accident, a miscommunication. There is no way I
would have blended these three specific oils. But the result is the ultimate
salt water ocean experience. Anne is dreaming of a beach house on the coast,
and is using the blend as part of her visualization. I'm tempted to add a
bit to a salt scrub.
Now, we aren't ever going to sell this blend. The oils used make it cost
prohibitive. But if you are longing for the ocean...blend yourself just a
few drops and experience it. It is one of the most powerful blends
we've ever come up with...one drop at a time... that
Seaweed can really
overcome everything.

Lighthearted Summer Scent
Blend
I was looking for "summery" recipes using some of the winter oils, and
came across these in an old copy of Aromatherapy Today. Bless John Kerr
the editor. This blend is lighthearted and cheerful. I might cut the
spearmint back to 2 drops, but as it stands, it is delightful.
add to bath, or to 50 ml water for spray... or in an aromalamp lamp.

CHAMOMILE
BATHS
This blend for an Insomnia Bath includes my favorite Neroli (I
want to try this one tonite!)
4 drops Roman chamomile oil
2 drops. lavender oil (I would use Mailette, I think, but any true
Lavender should work)
4 drops neroli oil
2 drops sweet marjoram oil.
A relaxing and sensuous blend for the bath, massage, or
diffuser:
Angel Wings -
12 drops Bulgarian Lavender
6 drops Blood Orange
4 drops Roman Chamomile
