Essential oils in home fragrance, Nathalie's ideas and yours.
When it comes to scenting your home with essential oils, creating ambiance and feeling good, there are several options available to us. Whether diffused, inhaled on a small cloth, or simply taken directly from the container, these oils accompany us throughout the day and throughout the house. We offer perfect synergies, but also the possibility of creating our own home fragrances with pure essential oils.
Perfume your home with our individual pure essential oils. Discover them here .
We offer 54 individually packaged essential oils, certified pure, of the highest quality. These are the same essential oils we use in the manufacture of our products. They can be used alone or in combination with others, according to your desires. You will find here in a chart created by Nathalie, the olfactory description, the olfactory properties (based on her experience) as well as examples of aromatic complements for each of our essential oils. Among our selection, you will find around thirty essential oils for $10 or less, in 5 ml format, or approximately 150 drops.
Perfume your home with our essential oil synergies. You will find them gathered here .
We have five essential oil synergies, each more sublime than the last, ready for diffusion: Passion , Reverie , Joy , Patchouli and Oriental . Added to this are some of our apothecary essential oil synergies, which are wonderful, perfect for diffusion. Defense Around You , Breathe Well Inhalation and Cold and Flu Solution become, when diffused, beautiful, beneficial home fragrances. All these synergies can be used happily as such or personalized, according to our imagination. To begin exploring and if we do not want to create our perfumes from the beginning, simply add to one of our synergies, in the diffuser, a drop of an essential oil that we like and that would complement the synergy well, according to our feelings or inspired by the ideas in Nathalie's charter.
The Purifying Formula and the Washing Formula also prove to be fantastic synergies to diffuse for fresh and clean universes.
Before we start creating our essential oil fragrances for the home, here are some tips and information:
- If you don't know which essential oils to start with, which ones to get first, it can be interesting to delve into your memories in search of a scent associated with a moment of happiness. This could be a good starting point. A visit to the store, when possible, to smell the essential oils, looking for those that will make you vibrate is also an excellent idea. We also offer a set of 11 essential oils , which will prove to be a good base with which to begin exploring.
- When experimenting, always note down the essential oils and the number of drops of each that you add to the blend. Sometimes you create wonders that you would love to replicate!
- The Aromatherapy Handbook , filled with valuable information, will also help you with your creations.
- On the site, in addition to the charter presented earlier, there are a host of articles to consult on essential oils to accompany us in this adventure, including these: Euphoric workshops , Essential oils by Nathalie , Perfumer's guide , Choice of essential oils for diffusion , Essential oils for cooking .
- Last tip: have fun with essential oils and let them transport you!
Nathalie's ideas
Ideas about Patchouli essential oil
Atlas Cedar is an excellent complement to Patchouli. Nathalie therefore suggests blending these two base notes together and adding:
- To stay in the base notes: Incense, Sandalwood or Myrrh
- To lighten with floral or fruity heart notes: Rose, Rose Geranium, Palmarosa or Orange
Try it for a festive atmosphere: Patchouli, Orange and the Joy synergy.
And for the body, add to the Caramel Fir Butter: Patchouli, Orange and Ylang Ylang.
Jacynthe loves keeping a base of Patchouli in her diffusers, to which she adds other essential oils. Patchouli adds a beautiful depth to our blends.
Ideas around Rose essential oil
Rose essential oil is wonderful in almost everything. It's truly amazing! Here are some ideas:
- Rose and Vetiver
- Rose, Breathe Easy, Patchouli and Cedar
- Oriental and Rose: a great fragrance
Since rose essential oil is so precious, Nathalie offers us recipes to recover its scent with less expensive essential oils. Thus, on a base of palmarosa and rose geranium essential oils, which have the same round and floral notes as rose, we add:
- To rediscover the scent of Centifolia rose, slightly sweet: Sandalwood, Myrrh or Cedar.
- To rediscover the scent of rose Otto: a little lemon.
We won't reproduce the essential oil and its scent verbatim, but by playing around with the oils, it's possible to find the rose notes. Nathalie explains that each essential oil has molecules that are contained in other essential oils, such as geraniol and nerol, which are found in Palmarosa, Rose Geranium and Bois de Hô as well as in Rose.
Ideas about Lavender essential oil
Lavender essential oil is a key note in perfumery. It's a floral, heart note that rounds out the fragrance. Lavender essential oil can be added to almost any blend. You won't necessarily smell it, but it will change the character of the fragrance.
Here are some ideas for essential oils to add to Lavender: Eucalyptus, Ravintsara, Verbena, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Geranium and Palmarosa.
And why not add a few drops of Ravintsara or Eucalyptus to our Pillow Perfume which is already based on Lavender!
Ideas around Lemon essential oil
Lemon essential oil is an oil that smells extremely good. Added in small amounts to a blend (a drop or two), it enhances the harmony of the others.
To try: Lemon, Cedar and Ylang Ylang.
Also to have in our kitchen and for cleaning!
And by the way, some ideas from Nathalie for perfume
The precious fragrances we create for our homes can also be used to scent our bodies and bath water. Nathalie shares some ideas with us:
- Caramel Fir Butter and Kukui Muslin are beautiful carriers for essential oils. We can therefore mix our essential oils with these or with a neutral oil like Jojoba Oil to perfume our body; 5% concentration of essential oil is the maximum that we should apply to the skin of the body, while for the face it will be 2%. Adding more would be too much and would be useless.
- We can also add our essential oils to our Nature hand soap and shampoo.
- For bath water, you can add a few drops of essential oils to bath salt, cornstarch, or baking soda. Before adding it to the bath, mix everything together in a small jar. Nathalie also suggests using small bars of soap that you no longer use because they're too small, grate them, and mix them with a little salt and a few drops of essential oils. It'll be great for your bath!
And finally, your ideas, like a gift, sweet and comforting, stimulating or cheerful, but always intoxicating and caring. And keep sharing them with us, we love it!
