Aromatherapy Oils and Hydrosols

This aromatherapy collection includes essential oils and hydrosols for diffusers, massage blends, baths and room sprays. Each is labelled with its botanical name and origin, so you can build blends with confidence.

For a calm, floral evening scent, many people reach for lavender, ylang ylang, geranium or neroli. Bright, fresh oils include mandarin, bergamot, lemongrass and lemon tea tree, while cypress, juniper berry, patchouli and boswellia give a woody, resinous base. Hydrosols of neroli, myrrh, helichrysum and palo santo are a softer option you can spray straight onto linen or skin.

Follow the exact oil label and diffuser manufacturer’s instructions. For cosmetic blending, use a tested formula and the supplier’s dilution limits with a carrier oil first. Shop all essential oils or hydrosols.

Getting Started with Aromatherapy Oils

Ways to use them

A diffuser is the simplest start. For massage, mix essential oils into a carrier oil at about 2%, which is around 2 drops per teaspoon. For a bath, blend the drops into a spoonful of carrier oil first, because essential oils do not mix with water and can sit on the surface undiluted.

Building a simple blend

Many blenders think in three layers. Top notes such as mandarin, bergamot and lemongrass give the first bright impression. Middle notes such as lavender, geranium and sweet marjoram form the body. Base notes such as patchouli, boswellia and cypress last longest. Try 3 drops of a top note, 2 of a middle and 1 of a base, then adjust to taste.

Use them with care

Diffuse in a ventilated room and take breaks. Cats, dogs and small children are more sensitive to strong scents, so keep sessions short when they are around. If you are pregnant, ask your doctor before using essential oils.

Aromatherapy FAQs

Should I use an essential oil or a hydrosol?

Use essential oils for diffusers and massage blends, where a few drops go a long way. Hydrosols are softer and can be sprayed straight onto linen or skin.

How many drops go in a diffuser?

Three to five drops per 100ml of water is a common starting point. Add more only if the scent is too faint.

Can I add essential oils straight to bath water?

Mix them into a carrier oil or unscented bath product first. Undiluted drops float on the water and can touch the skin at full strength.

Which oils are good for beginners?

Lavender, mandarin, geranium and sweet marjoram are easy to blend and widely used. Start with one or two and build from there.
