Question

Can Sandalwood Fragrance Oil and Golden Amber be mixed with natural Essential Oils to enhance the scent? Also, what other types of scents can be added to natural Essential Oils for fragrance modification?

Answer

Blending Fragrance Oils with Natural Essential Oils

Yes, you can mix fragrance oils like Sensual of Spices and Sandalwood and Golden Amber with natural essential oils. This is a common practice to create unique scent blends with specific aroma profiles.

However, it's important to understand the difference: fragrance oils are typically synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds designed purely for scent, while essential oils are natural extracts from plants with their own therapeutic properties in addition to scent. When you mix them, the resulting blend is no longer considered a purely "natural essential oil" blend.

Other Scents to Blend with Natural Essential Oils

Natural essential oils can be blended with various other aromatic ingredients to enhance or modify their scent:

  • Other Natural Essential Oils: This is the most common way to create complex, purely natural aromas. You can blend different essential oils (like Sweet Basil Oil, Galbanum Oil, Olibanum (Frankincense) Oil, etc.) to achieve desired notes.
  • Natural Absolutes: These are highly concentrated natural extracts, similar to essential oils, that can add depth and richness to blends.
  • Aroma Chemicals: These are isolated chemical components, which can be derived from natural sources or synthesized. They are used to fine-tune specific scent notes.

When creating any blend, always consider the intended application (e.g., diffuser, skincare, soap) and ensure that the total concentration of all fragrance materials is safe and appropriate for that specific product.
