I also found a recipe for a hair tonic (?) on Pinterest called Mermaid Spray. It is 30 drops each of Lavender, Rosemary, and Cedarwood in a 4 oz. spray bottle, topped off with alcohol-free witch hazel. To be used once daily on wet or dry hair.
This might tie into Blend 2 a little better than the others.
I have already mixed up a batch of scent from the following: 3 d. frankincense, 3 d. lavender, 2 d. cedarwood, 2 d. orange. It feels unbalanced. Some research into top, middle, and base notes has revealed that it is base-heavy. For more information on oil notes, read https://www.aromaweb.com/articles/blend01.asp. Basic research has led me to the following proportions: Top should make up 5-20%, middle should make up 50-80%, base should make up 5-20%. I made a calculator in Excel that looks like this:
Here it is with formulae shown:
I have conditional formatting set for C1, C6, and C11 so that if the percentage falls outside the suggested proportions above, the cells highlight red.
