Thank you for this chart.

 

However, I don't understand clearly how to use it to mix scents together.

 

For exemple, the Chypre category ( purple color ) is composed of Woody, Mossy, Floral, Citrus and Animalic.

Does that mean that i can mix everything inside that category ( for exemple if I choose Woody + Citrus does that mean that Sandalwood and

Grapefruit will be a good mix ? )

 

Jcandleattic you said that everything next to each other or opposite will mix well, so for exemple, the fruity category is between Citrus and Floral.

Does that mean that Apple ( fruity) will mix well with Gardenia ( Floral) and Tangerine ( citrus ) ?

 

Opposite to the fruity category, i can see the Spicy and woody ( Blue color)

So if i follow what you said, Clove ( Spicy) can fit well with peach ( fruity ) ?

 

If someone can help me with some exemple, it would be great !!

 

Thank you !

 

I would love the answer to this question too! I printed the wheel out but want to know exactly how to use it.

Cant think of any right now but it should be made into a list and used as a sticky post or whatever to save all of us the time and money on testing. I have tried 4 diff lilacs and all were different.

I love Candle Science Lilac. It lasted 3 days in my bathroom wall plug warmer. A good lilac smell too.. authentic.

Ok.. I typed all my intro somewhere but it wasn't here. I'm having a hard time figuring this out

Well I had trouble figuring out how or where I even type here. Maybe this is correct.

I'm Karla from Missouri. I'm 51, married with 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren. I am an Interior Decorator trying to retire and am in the process of starting my scented melt business. I'm in the very beginning with my website being built, LLC and tax license being handled and testing, testing and more testing of my product. I have learned so much but have much more to learn.

I am looking for a place where I can learn, share and discuss scents, companies and even recipes on blending unique scents. 

I started this business for 2 reasons. I'm TIRED! of moving furniture, climbing up and down ladders. I love what I do but its becoming physically hard on me. And 2, I have always loved my home to smell good. The changing of the seasons or to greet my guests.  From back when dry potpourri was "in", then the liquid oil in warmers was '"in", candles ( which I still love and use) to wax melts. My supplier I bought from for years quit. And I decided to do it myself  so here I am!

Look forward to learning from everyone and hopefully able to share with others.
