"We're going to talk about blending your aromatherapies. Blending aromatherapies is very much like making perfume. You have to make something that smells agreeable, otherwise you won't want to use it. So, there's a process to blending your scents. And, it's very simple. You have what's called, a base note, a middle note, and a top note. A base note is an essential oil or a perfume, that will have a very strong lasting scent throughout the entire time that you are smelling that particular scent. A middle note, such as, this is rosemary and this is eucalyptus. These are middle notes. A middle note is a fragrance that will have kind of a medium body to it. The scent lasts, but it's not intense and cloying. And, then there's a top note, and the top note is a more fleeting scent. When you first notice the particular blend of aromas, you’ll, you'll notice that in a subtle way. The top note you'll notice in a subtle way. But, it will dissipate, and you might not notice it. You'll notice it at the beginning, but you might not notice it at the end of whatever it is that you're smelling. And, so, to put that into practice, if you had a base note and you were going to blend some aromatherapies, you might only use one drop, or maybe two drops of your base note in blending your aromatherapies. And, middle notes you might use, five to eight drops. You might even use twenty drops if you're making a big batch of something. Top notes you're going to use a similar amount, as the amount of middle note that you use. So, that's generally what these different types of essential oils are. And, again, if you have a, it's very good to get an aromatherapy book, and in the book, it should say, top, middle, or base. And that will tell you how much of that particular aromatherapy to put into your blend."
