Top notes- these make a quick strong presence and disappear so that you can't catch them, important because they add that unforgettable spark to the blend that makes it interesting) Middle notes- equalize oppositions, their job it to integrate, becomingВ invisible- one can sense their work, but cant remember their personality as easily as those of the other oils. (base notes- the fixers of the botanical perfumery, they are lessВ volatileВ and keep other oils in the blend from evaporating too quickly.

At this point, I create the perfume according to their preferences and achieving the right balance between base, middle and top notes. The different smells were screened for -2 for sure rejection, -1 for dislike, 0 for a feeling ofВ neutrality, +1 for positive reaction, and +2 for a definite aroma preference.After creating this chart by smelling the aromas, the client turns the scores over to me. This method uses a kit containing aromas in a set of vials, into which I placed small pieces of blotter paper containing a drop or two of each EO and a chart to note the differences. I created sessions in which clients go thru a screening process where they smell and grade between 24 and 30 EO's and absolutes.

That is how I began to blend perfumes- by making personal perfumes for clients that I considered 'patients'. I have the firm belief that people can access emotional healing and mental harmony by using aВ personalizedВ perfume, one that contains all of their best memories with favorableВ emotionalВ content. '.I became aware of the potential that perfumes have in therapy, especially if the perfume making is done with true botanical oils, which haveВ therapeuticВ properties. I am posting it- because it really does make sense and is exactly how I feel about blending for my clients! Here the author talks about how and why she makes blends for her clients - it is copied right from the book - in the authors words. **(taken from the book: Aromatherapy Pocketbook- by Kendra Grace)pg 104-105
