need some advice

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am having some difficultly combining a aroma. I am using the essential of

seaweed to give a slight tone of being near the ocean. I am not sure which or

how other essential oils mix with it or if I am just barking up the wrong tree

to get the desired effect. Perhaps there is a better choice of oils to create

that feeling? Does anyone have advice?

Second, I get essential oils from different sources and they all seem to have

such a tremendous difference in how they blend and even smell although they are

from the same origin. I am having difficultly in combining the scent in my mind

with the essential oils I order. They commonly have significant characteristics

that require major adjustments in my planned formulation. Do I just need a

better understanding on differentiating the processing of oils or does everyone

experience this and just know how to work with it?

Lastly, why is it that almost all spa and bath products refuse to color outside

the lines and always use scents like rosemary, lavender and ylang ylang?

Thanks,

Any comments, information or advice will be helpful.
