Understanding the Basics

Blending essential oils requires a foundational knowledge of the oils' properties. Some oils, like lavender, are known for their calming effects, while others, like peppermint, are more invigorating. It's also crucial to consider how you'll be using your blends.

Aromatherapy diffusers, such as the URPOWER Diffuser, are a popular choice for many, allowing the scent of your blend to disperse gently throughout your space and providing an immersive, longlasting experience.

A key aspect of creating your blend is understanding the 'notes' of each oil. A 'note' is a term used to describe an oil's rate of evaporation. These can influence not only the aroma's evolution as it's diffused but also its duration.

Top notes are the fastest to evaporate and thus are the first scents you perceive. They're usually bright and uplifting, making them great for an initial burst of fragrance in your URPOWER diffuser.

Middle notes unfold after the top notes, forming the heart of the aroma. They tend to be well-rounded fragrances that give body to the blend, ensuring it remains present and enjoyable as the diffuser continues to operate.

Base notes are the slowest to evaporate, providing a lasting fragrance that grounds the blend. These are the scents that will linger in your space even after the diffuser has been turned off, serving as a pleasant aromatic reminder of your custom blend. Understanding these components and how they interplay in an aromatherapy diffuser will provide a deeper appreciation of your essential oils and enhance your blending experience.
