The benefit of building your own blend is that you can create something that is absolutely perfect for YOU.
Yes, there are plenty of blends on the market, but finding one that you love AND that gives you the right results can be tricky. Also, going the DIY route to create a blend requires buying a bunch of oils ($$$), then carrier oils (to make them skin + hair safe), and practically setting up a lab in your kitchen to mix, melt, and pour everything (time + money = headache!). Our line saves you the hassle and money by making everything ready to blend and wear.
"How do I begin?", you ask...
If it’s about following your nose, you can create a signature scent that is uniquely you - something that enhances both your smile and style. Wouldn’t it fun to run into people and hear them say, “Wow! What are you wearing? You smell amazing!” What is also true is that when WE like the way we smell, we feel good, beautiful and energized. We walk through the world smiling and saying Hi to strangers, we look people in the eye, we go for that promotion, we walk with more confidence and swagger. And who couldn’t use a little extra swagger, am I right?
If the idea of following your heart interests you, an exciting aspect of pure therapeutic-grade essential oils is that all of them possess qualities that enhance your health and sense of well-being. You can focus on creating a blend to empower yourself to reach your dreams and goals and most of all, make you FEEL the way you want for any occasion (happy, focused at work, peaceful so we can sleep better, anxiety-free when we’re stressed out, driven during a workout, mindful and present during meditation or yoga…this list goes on and on!)
We’ve added informational bullet points for each oil on our website, but we really encourage you to use that as a starting point and do more research. The world of essential oils is vast and exciting, follow the threads of your own curiosity.
RECIPES
Creating your own oil can be as easy as following some of the delicious recipes that are already out there. For a list of some of our favorites please see below.
INTENTIONS
You can also choose 3 scents that have the intentions you want to create in your life and put them into an empty Warm Human-Inspired Compact. The compact keeps your favorite collections together safely and away from direct air and sunlight (reducing oxidation).
NOTES
You can also use the perfumer’s trick of choosing your favorite Top, Middle and Base note into one powerful blend.
What we’ve learned from the perfumery world, is that Top notes are the first thing you smell. They disappear quickly, so they may be something you add more of to your skin or hair. Middle notes are often referred to as the “Heart” note. They are the body of a fragrance and round everything out and connect all of the other notes. They last longer than Top notes and less than Base notes. Base notes tend to be stronger scents that last much longer, so maybe use less of them (unless you love them, then, in that case, slather them on for days). Sandalwood is an interesting example of a powerful base note. It has been used for centuries in various perfumes…and long after the other elements in the bottle have disappeared or oxidized, years later people can STILL smell the sandalwood!
All of our essential oils indicate whether they are a Top, Middle or Base note with symbols on the container and packaging. Using the notes is often a fun and successful way of creating a blend.

You do you. These oils enhance your personal strength and confidence. They remind you to focus on yourself, your goals and celebrate all of the unique qualities that make you, YOU. Set down the idea that you need to compare yourself to anyone else. This is your journey and you’ll do it your way.

This creative blend is a staff favorite. It’s powerful, feminine and sexy. It is unlike anything you’ve ever smelled before – so if you seek the unique, you might just very well fall in love the second you smell it. Grapefruit gives it a zesty citrus note, and tobacco is popular in men’s cologne but women love it, too! The masculinity of it makes you feel powerful, take action and express it…Frida Kahlo is the perfect spirit for this scent, she was a sexy, force to be reckoned with! And putting tuberose into the mix makes this blend unapologetically feminine.
This blend is a powerful aphrodisiac. These three scents stimulate your sex drive, enhance your sensuality, build confidence and connection and turn you on! Ylang Ylang is a heady, floral scent that helps you let go of anything negative, get into the moment and help you concentrate on your sensuality. Tuberose is the ultimate femme-fatal, pure seduction in one whiff! Patchouli is grounding and brings this earthy, sensual, sexy vibe to the mix.
This calming blend is perfect for becoming extremely and grounded and present. These three oils strongly enhance our sense of inner-peace, balance our emotions, and calm our body. They allow you to clear away the confusion and hear your intuition. Go ahead and ask yourself a question, put this blend on and meditate on it. The answer is bound to appear.
You’re a boss. You are clear, strong and quick-minded. Wear this blend at work, or when you need to focus on a project, manage people, speak in front of a group of people or inspire any kind of change. You’ll be confident and on point. This is also an effective blend to wear while you are learning something new, or taking a class – because these three scents trigger your brain’s ability to focus and process information quickly and efficiently.
This blend is like taking a chill pill. Maybe you need to have a good night’s sleep, or just relax your mind, body, and soul. Super Sage, which is a combination of sage and clary sage, is mixed with lavender and vanilla. All three of these scents balance your emotions and prevent your mind from running away with itself, and they also reduce anxiety.
It all begins with self-care. It’s easy to lose yourself doing things for everyone else, but we need to remember to charge our own batteries once in a while so we HAVE the energy to give away when the time is right. These three scents are delicious together. All three of them inspire a sense of self-love/self-worth and security within. Because of that, you’ll feel safe to open your heart outwardly, try new things, explore more, and stretch your limits. You’ll have patience with yourself and the pathways you take to grow.
This trio is the perfect citrus trifecta of happiness. All three sing YES! They are vibrant, sexy, and wildly alive; they love life! This combo smells like laughter on a beautiful summer day every time you wear it. Lemon is large and in charge, she’s good and she’s on it! Sweet orange likes to flirt with life; pure sexiness in the sun, and lime gives you the energy to take on the world with one big “Hell Yes!”
Yoga reminds us to both love ourselves where we are, AND push or stretch ourselves further. Simply begin; from wherever you are with whatever you have, the only competition is with yourself. These oils encourage you to relax, trust yourself, listen to your body, and respect your intuition.
Everyone asked us to create something to wake them up and give them the energy to take on the world, or at least the day. These 2 citrus oils mixed with fresh peppermint wake up your brain and give you tons of energy to work hard or play hard. This is a great blend for work, the gym, or a big game.
