For anyone interested — and also I’m documenting this for myself so I have an easy, accessible aggregation of my favorite scent recipes — I’m creating this page to house my “best of” recipes. So I’m anticipating that in the future I’ll return to this page and update it with more scent recipes.
I think it’s useful to approach everything I share here within the context of this past article I wrote, “Essential Oils: My (Hopefully) Holistic Perspective.”
Though that write-up is more about using essential oils with the intention of holistic healing, whereas here, while there’s a lot of cross-over, my main focus will be on scent.
There’s also this old post, “On Spell Oils (Cf. Anointing Oils).”
As you probably know, the quality of the essence or absolute you’re using matters a lot and can make all the difference. So two people following the same exact recipe but using different quality essences are going to get two very different results. Fruit notes tend to be more forgiving, but resins and some florals, no, you are very likely going to get what you pay for.
