主题：复方精油调和建议 - 芳香疗法

调和不同的精油是一种艺术，试想数百种不同的精油，能有多少种不可思议的组合，就算只取常用的二三十种，也有极可观的组合可能，怎样调和才能兼顾气味与疗效？同时还加入个人的品味与格调？在一开始对精油还很陌生的阶段，掌握三个基本原则，至少调和出来的配方不会太离谱，接下来则要看个人的敏锐度与创意了。 1.花果树的调和 属于同一系列的植物通常气味兼容，比如柑橘、柠檬加佛手柑，玫瑰、天竺葵加依兰，或是木类的丝柏、雪松加檀香。我们在这依照植物精油的气味属性列出同类精油的一览表(按照同类的气味而不完全按照植物的部位) 类别 精油 木类 尤加利、花梨木、香桃木、苦橙叶、丝柏、雪松、杜松、桧木、松树、冷杉、云杉、檀香、茶树 异国风情类 广藿香、岩兰草 树脂类 安息香、榄香脂、乳香、没药、白松香 花 类 玫瑰、茉莉、橙花、天竺葵、熏衣草、意大利永久花、洋甘菊 香料类 茴香、丁香、肉桂、荳蔻、黑胡椒、姜 叶草类 迷迭香、百里香、薄荷、快乐鼠尾草、马郁兰、罗勒，胡萝卜种子 柑橘类 柠檬香茅、柠檬、佛手柑、葡萄柚、甜橙、苦橙、莱姆、红柑、马鞭草 2.高中低调的均衡比例 另一个小秘诀是，调和不同调性的精油。你可能常常发现，很喜欢的柠檬或甜橙，散发没多久气味就没了，或是迷迭香、茶树这类气味清新的精油，也有同样的状况，这是因为这类精油属于高调的精油。而所谓精油的调性，是依照其挥发性来定义，挥发性高的为高调，暴露在空气中在较短的时间内就会挥发完毕，因此味道比较不持久，而中调的挥发时间中等，低调的精油挥发时间最长。只要稍微做个小实验就可以明白不同调的精油其挥发性的差异，拿柠檬、熏衣草、檀香等三种高中低调的精油，各滴一滴在面纸上静置于空气中，过了半天、一天、两天、三天分别检查三种气味，就可清楚发现，柠檬消失的最快，熏衣草其次，而檀香则极为持久。在调和复方精油的气味时，可将高中低三种调性的精油，以3:2:1的比例混合，如同音乐的和弦一般，高中低音的调和使音乐更丰富，均衡的调性使精油更圆融，也就是说高调精油放最多的量三滴，中调两滴，低调精油一滴，以此类推。举例来说，假设调和一瓶12ml的复方精油，选用迷迭香、熏衣草及雪松三种不同调的精油，高调的迷迭香应用六滴，熏衣草加四滴，雪松加两滴，如此调和出多样细致而有持久性的气味。关于各种精油的调性，可参考精油使用宝典的精油功能快速指南。 3. 作配方笔记 接下来不要忘记，把每一种尝试的配方作笔记，完整的纪录起来。因为这些复杂的精油成份跟挥发性的不同，复方精油在刚刚混合时，跟放置一段时间后，气味可能会有稍许不同，变得更为均衡合一，也有可能后来变的某一种气味太强，需要再调整比例。而在尝试多种不同配方的过程中，很容易就忘记当初调和的种类跟比例，当你发现自己特别喜欢某种复方精油的组合时，却再也调不出来，或是花很多时间重新尝试，所以建议最好一律作笔记，避免可能的错误与悔憾。

指教了,我就常忘记

Blending does not have hard and fast rules that must be followed to create that wonderful blend that you’ll love for a lifetime. The lack of limits and restrictions is what makes perfumery an art form. Having said that, a few tips will help get you off to a fine start:

Tips

• When creating a new blend, start out small with a total number of drops of either 5, 10, 20 or 25 drops. 25 drops should be the most that you start with. By starting small, you waste less oil in your blending experiments.
  
  
• Start creating your blend by only using essential oils, absolutes or CO2s. After you have designed the blend, then you can dilute it by adding carrier oils, alcohol, etc. If you hate the blend you created, you have then not wasted any carrier oils or alcohol.
  
  
• Keep a notebook that lists each oil that you used with the number of drops used for each oil. When the creative juices flow, it is easy to get carried away and later forget the exact recipe for your blend; one drop too much or too little of even one oil can drastically change the aroma of your blend. When you find that perfect blend, you want to be able to reduplicate it, and it’s near impossible if you didn’t take notes! If you are especially ambitious, it’s also a wise idea to note the vendor name of the oil that you used as the aroma and quality of oils do vary between vendors (even with the same vendor, the aroma of oils can vary from batch to batch, due to crop fluctuations and resourcing).
  
  
• To store your beautiful creations, perfume sample bottles and 2ml amber “shortie” bottles are very inexpensive and can often be purchased from aromatherapy vendors and glass bottle companies.
  
  
• Be sure to label your blends clearly. If you don’t have enough room to specify exactly what your blend is, label it with a number that corresponds to a number in your notebook.
  
  
• Start off your blending experiments by creating blends that are made up in the following ratio (you do not have to be exact – this is just a guideline to get you started): 30% of the oils are top notes, 50% are middle notes, and 20% are base notes. See the chart above to find out what oils belong to each category.
  
  
• Some oils are much stronger than others, especially the absolutes and CO2s. Study oils you wish to use in a given blend and observe the oils that have the strongest aromas. Unless you want those oils to dominate the blend, you will want to use dramatically less of the stronger oils in your blend.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• After creating your blend, allow it to sit for a few days before deciding if you love or hate it. The constituents (natural chemicals) contained within the oils will get cozy with each other and the aroma can change, usually rounding out a bit.
