Blending Finished Fragrances with Fragrance Components

Yes, you can blend finished fragrances with individual fragrance components. This is a common technique used to modify an existing scent profile, add specific notes, or create a unique fragrance blend without starting entirely from scratch. It can indeed help save time and steps compared to building a fragrance solely from individual components.

When blending, consider the overall scent profile you want to achieve and how the finished fragrance and individual components will interact. It is recommended to start with small test batches to evaluate the resulting scent.

Regarding labeling, listing the specific notes or components of a finished fragrance on your product label can be challenging. Finished fragrances are often proprietary blends, and their exact compositions or individual notes might not be disclosed. While you can describe the overall character or impression of the final blended scent (e.g., "floral and woody notes"), you generally cannot list specific notes or ingredients from the pre-mixed finished fragrance unless you have access to its full composition and are permitted to disclose it. It is usually more accurate and legally safer to describe the resulting aroma profile of your final product.
