13 January 2018 at 2:47 PMHi Anna, there are no specific rules when blending your essential oils however I prefer to start with the base notes, then add the middle notes and finally the top notes. I also use less of the base notes as these are heavier and often more overpowering than the top and middle notes. See what works best for you though as everyone is different and it’s about your own creativity when creating your own essential oil blends. I hope that helps.
