Delve into our Aroma Series where we explore the three notes of essential oils: top, middle, and base.

In this first class of our Aroma Series, we explored the world of top-note essential oils, taking a deep dive into their chemistry, aroma profiles and properties. Watch our recap video to learn how top notes fit into your aroma blends, fun ways to use them around the home and in body care, and how to make a recipe featuring some of our favorite top note essential oils. 

In this second installment of our Aroma Series we looked in-depth into the nature of middle note essential oils, also known as the ‘heart’ of an aroma blend. These are the essential oil that hold your aroma blends together, and leave a lasting impression of the harmony between the notes. Watch the recap to see what properties are common to middle note essential oils, explore their role in diffusion, perfumes and skin care, and learn how to make an amazing roll-on perfume that features some of the most popular floral middle notes.

In this final class of our Aroma Series we dove into the mysterious world of base notes, the rich and resinous essential oils that are the foundations of our aroma blends. Learn what makes them a ‘fixative’ for perfumes and diffusions, and why it’s so important to include a base note in your recipes. Take time to explore their chemistry, properties and common characteristics so you can understand how to incorporate these deep aromas into your essential oil journey.
