Question: rosemary
basil
pine needle


Answers: rosemary
basil
pine needle

Start off by deciding which scent you want to be the base-scent, or the main scent that carries the other two. For instance, if you want the base scent to be pine needle, then that is the oil you would use the most of; if you wanted it to be rosemary, then you would use more of the rosemary oil than the others.

Next, fill a disposible cup with some warm water, and add anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon of your base scent to that.
Then, add only a drop or two of the other oils, one oil at a time - but keep notes about how many drops you use of each oil.
The water won't be part of the finished oil - it's just being used so the slight steam coming from the warm water will carry the scent to you, and make it easier to tell which oils are making the scent better or worse.

After you begin to add drops, it's really just a matter of experimenting with different amounts of each oil, until you find a combination that gives you the scent you're looking for. When you have it, check your notes to see what the amounts of oils are.

To finish, take your base scent, and add the other oils to it, using your notes. If you used a teaspoon of the base scent, see how many drops of the other oils you used-then, you'll know that it takes that number of drops for each teaspoon that you have of the base oil.

For instance, let's say that in your warm water, you used a teaspoon of rosemary for your base, two drops of basil, and one drop of pine. All you would need to do is find out how many teasoopns of rosemary you had to use (let's say that you measured 18 tsp. of that), and multiply that number times the number of drops you used.
So, you would take 18 - the number of teaspoons you have - and multiply that by 2 for the number of drops of basil. That would mean you need 36 drops of basil oil.
Then, take that 18 again, and multiply that by 1 for the number of drops of pine oil. That would make 18 pine oil drops you would need to use.
Then, you would take the 36 drops of basil oil, and the 18 drops of pine oil, and add them to your 18 tsp. of rosemary to make your scent.

Stir the oils a little, and you're all set.

The same process is used no matter how many drops, teaspoons or tablespoons you use.
It's might be a little confusing reading it here, but once you do it one or two times, you'll get the hang of it, and it won't seem so difficult.

DON'T add any water to your finished oil mixture. Like I said before, you only use the warm water to carry the scent to your nose while you're experimenting, not to actually mix into the oils when you're done.

To use it, just take a couple of drops of your oil mixture, or just a little of the mixture on your finger, and apply it to whatever you want the scent on.

Hope that helps.
