Choosing Scents for Diffusers: Aroma Chemicals vs. Natural Scents

When creating scents for diffusers, you can choose between Aroma Chemicals and Natural Scents. Here's a breakdown:

• Aroma Chemicals: These are single, isolated chemical compounds. They offer precise and consistent scent notes. Examples include Citronellal, Coumarin, and Coranol.
• Natural Scents: These are complex mixtures extracted from natural sources like plants, such as essential oils or absolutes. Examples include Angelica Root Oil, Olibanum (Frankincense) Oil, and Holy Basil Oil.

How to Choose Aroma Chemicals for Diffusers:

When selecting Aroma Chemicals, consider these factors:

1. Desired Scent: What specific aroma do you want? Aroma chemicals can provide clean, specific notes or act as building blocks in a blend.
2. Volatility: For diffusers, the scent needs to evaporate well. Choose chemicals with appropriate volatility (top, middle, or base notes) to create a balanced and lasting fragrance.
3. Safety: Always ensure the chemical is safe for inhalation and suitable for diffuser use at your intended concentration.

Both types can be used, often blended together, to create unique and appealing diffuser fragrances.
