Tips for the best blends

Start with the recipe amounts above, then adjust to taste — add a drop more of your favorite note to make it your own. A simple guideline many people love is the 3-2-1 rule: three drops of a top note (citrus), two of a middle note (herb or floral), and one of a base note (wood or resin). Always diffuse in a well-ventilated space and follow your diffuser’s fill line.
