Blender's Tip: Before adding the essential oil drops to your product, test out the scent combination using blotting strips. Simply place a drop of each essential oil on its own strip of blotting paper. Hold the strips together in a fan to smell the combination. You can see how it would smell differently by adding or removing individual blotters. Pick up our Blender's Starter Pack for blotting strips, pipettes, perfumer's alcohol & more!
