    ESSENTIAL OIL NOTES AND OTHER CLASSIFICATION

    Essential oils are classified by their "notes" or scent characteristics. This chart shows the typical classification and can be used in
    combining scents.

    Top Notes: Essential oils that are classified as top notes normally evaporate very fast and typically have anti-viral properties. They
    tend to be light, fresh and uplifting in nature and are usually inexpensive. Top notes are highly volatile, fast acting, and give the first
    impression of the blend. However, they are not very long lasting.

    Middle Notes: The bulk of essential oils are considered middle notes and normally give body to the blend and have a balancing
    effect. The aroma of middle notes are not always immediately evident and may take a couple of minutes to establish their
    scent. They are normally warm and soft fragrances.

    Base Notes: Essential oils that are classified as base notes are normally very heavy and their fragrance is very solid. It will be
    present for a long time and slows down the evaporation of the other oils. These fragrances are normally intense and heady. They
    are normally rich and relaxing in nature and are typically the most expensive of all oils.

    Diffusion - A diffuser is specially designed to disperse a fine mist of essential oils sufficient to fill a room in a few minutes. It
    disperses the oil without burning, which can cause the oil to lose much of its therapeutic benefits. Research shows that diffusing
    certain oils may help to reduce bacteria, fungus, mold and unpleasant orders. In addition, this method can help you relax, relieve
    tension, help in weight management, improve concentration, and increase mental clarity. Diffused essential oils can also purify the
    air and fill the room with a fresh, herbal aromatic scent.
