An alternative is rose geranium essential oil, which has a rose-like scent with a hint of citrus and mint. While different, it's still very pleasing and often used in aromatherapy for its uplifting properties.
Yes, sandalwood essential oil blends beautifully with many floral essential oils. Its sweet, woody, and slightly balsamic aroma can provide a grounding base note that complements the lighter, sweeter notes of floral oils.
Pair it with lavender oil for a calming blend, or with rose for a luxurious, romantic scent. You could also try it with ylang ylang or geranium for an exotic, uplifting blend.
These combinations can be used in a diffuser, in DIY skincare, or in homemade candles for a unique aromatic experience.
Floral essential oils like lavender, rose, or jasmine pair well with many carrier oils. Jojoba oil is a favourite for skin applications due to its similar composition to our skin's natural oils, enhancing absorption.
Sweet almond oil is loved for its light feel and nourishing properties. Argan oil offers a luxurious experience, being rich in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E.

Yes, you can use floral fragrance oils in your diffuser to fill your space with their delightful, blooming scents.
Just add a few drops of the oil to your diffuser, following the diffuser manufacturer's guidelines regarding the amount to use. Always remember that fragrance oils are often more concentrated than essential oils, so a little can go a long way.
Ensure the room is well ventilated when you're diffusing, especially if there are pets or children present.
Yes, floral fragrance oils should be diluted before use, particularly if they're going to come into contact with the skin, as they can cause irritation when used undiluted.
Use a carrier oil, such as jojoba or sweet almond oil, to dilute fragrance oils before applying to your skin.
The general guideline is to use 1-2% fragrance oil, which equates to about 6-12 drops per ounce of carrier oil.
While our floral fragrance oils are carefully formulated, caution should be used when diffusing any oils around pets and children.
Some fragrances can cause discomfort or allergic reactions, especially in smaller, more sensitive individuals. It's crucial to keep the space well ventilated and to monitor for any adverse reactions.
For pets, certain essential oils can be harmful, so we recommend consulting with a vet before use.
As an additional safety measure, always store your fragrance oils out of reach of children and pets.
