Scent Blending Tips

Each time you add a drop to your mixing glass, go through the following process to ensure your scent doesn't change to quickly as you create it:

Smell your creation and ask yourself a series of questions to help you determine what to do next.

• Do you like it?


• Is one scent overpowering the overall blend?


• Is cone scent acting as a nice compliment, but you'd like it to come through a little stronger?


• Do you want your scent to be more sweet? More dark and heavy?

If one scent is overpowering the other scent(s), in your Mixing Glass, add one more drop of the other scent(s) already in your glass. Then smell again. Continue doing this until the over-powering scent is at the strength you prefer.

If you'd like a scent to come through a little stronger, add another drop. Just add one drop at a time. UB perfume oils are highly concentrated and not diluted so your fragrance creation can change rather quickly!

If you want your scent to be more sweet, smell all the scents in your UB collection and choose one that you feel is sweet, and that will also go well in your blend. Try adding one drop to see how you like it. You can keep adding more drops of this scent until your fragrance is the desired sweetness...just remember, do it one drop at a time! This technique works with anything you want your scent to be—sweet, deep, flirty, romantic, sporty...

Swirl your mixing glass around before smelling. This helps mix the oils and gives you a more accurate representation of your recipe.
