Perfume oil help!

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, i'm very new to the art of natural perfumery, and i'm

currently interested in perfume oils. I have been mixing thusfar

with fractionated coconut oil as the base. I have several essential

oils.

I am just going to ask all the questions i have here, and desperately

hope that someone with knowledge will help me =]

1. When mixing the essential oil blend for perfume oil, is it better

to do it in the oil or without oil and then dilute it?

2. I have japanese peppermint which i wanted to try to use, but

everytime i mix it with the essential oils, it overpowers everything

(even if only 1 drop is used). Any suggestions on how to dilute the

peppermint?

3. I bought corriander essential oil and it really smells horrible. I

got it from new directions aromatics. Is that a good supplier for

natural perfumery product? What is the best place to go to for such

products. I currently want to get my hands on bees wax abs and

bitter almond, are both natural? where should i get them from as my

current supplier does not have these?

If you can answer 1 or all of these, it would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you sincerely,

Sherif (T.O)
