To learn
more about the strength of oils, it is useful to try experiments where you add one drop of a selected essential oil
to 5 drops carrier oil to get a 20% dilution, smell it, study the aroma, then add another 5 drops of carrier oil to
get a 10% dilution, smell it and study the aroma again, then repeat as desired. This can help educate you on the
characteristics and strengths of each essential oil at various dilution ratios.

I am pretty clueless when it comes to perfumery. But do they really base their calculations in
this way? According to my benighted calculations, if I have one drop of EO and five drops of carrier, I have 6 drops
in total, one of which is EO. So 16.7% is EO. So is not this a 16.7% dilution, and not, as stated, a 20%
dilution?
(Isn\'t Oscar real good at this stuff?)
(Oh, yeah, one other thing. If you need any help,
I\'ll be glad to anoint you, SRH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].)
