The most successful blends specified by customers generally have the following features:
- Equal proportions - e.g. 50%/50%, or 33%/33%/33%. Why? Generally, unless a scent is particularly strong (such as Patchouli or any essential oils), anything less than 20% will not have much influence on the final blend.
- Test Drive It First - It helps in constructing a blend if you already know what the components individually smell like. We have convenient sample packs that allow you to try out many catalog scents for a low price. You can combine and layer those catalog scents on your skin to get an approximation of what a custom blend of those components would smell like. While testing, remember not to judge a combined scent on first sniff. Fragrances develop over time on your skin, so remember to examine a blend's aroma at different time intervals.
- Know Thyself - Do you know what you are looking for in a custom blend? Instead of combining random scents together, it helps to have a general idea of the style of fragrance you want. This knowledge will help you sort through our many catalog scents to find the right ones to blend together.
Now, it's your turn to unleash your imagination! Literally thousands of new scents can be created from different combinations of our catalog scents. Have fun and enjoy.
