Blending Classifications

(adapted from the Modern Essentials book pg. 11 & 12, second edition pg. 25 & 26, small
spiral pg. 32)

When blending, oils should be added to the blend in the following order:

3rd ~ The Equalizer
4th ~ The Modifier (5-8% of the blend)

1. The Personifier (1-5 % of the blend):

~ Oils have a very sharp, strong, and long-lasting fragrance. They have dominant
properties with strong therapeutic action.

~ Oils may include birch, cinnamon, clary sage, clove, coriander, ginger, helichrysum,
orange, peppermint, rose, wintergreen, and ylang ylang.

2. The Enhancer (50-80% of the blend):

blend. Fragrance is not as sharp as the Personifier and is of a shorter duration.

grapefruit, lavender, lemon, lemongrass, marjoram, melaleuca, orange, oregano, rose,
rosemary, thyme, and wintergreen.

3. The Equalizer (10-15 % of the blend):

~ Creates balance and synergy among the oils in the blend. Fragrance is not as sharp
as the Personifier and is of a shorter duration.

~ Oils may include basil, bergamot, cypress, fennel, white fir, frankincense, geranium,
ginger, lavender, lemongrass, marjoram, melaleuca, myrrh, oregano, rose,
sandalwood, and thyme.

4. The Modifier (5-8% of the blend):
