Exotic Scent Blending Tips

  • Embrace contrast: Exotic blends often shine with unexpected combinations—try pairing spicy with sweet or earthy with bright.
  • Start with small amounts: Many exotic oils are potent—begin with fewer drops than you think you need.
  • Layer complexity: The most intriguing exotic blends often have multiple layers of scent that reveal themselves over time.
  • Consider cultural inspiration: Research traditional scent combinations from different cultures for authentic exotic blends.
  • Allow maturation: Exotic blends often improve with time—let them sit for 1-2 weeks before final assessment.
