Lavender: Spiritual and ComplexCombine the powdery floral lavender with some of the ancient meditative essential oils and you've got a gateway for spiritual healing. Or, if you just want to blend up something that smells darned good, try one of these:
2 parts lavender
1 part frankincense
Try adding a tiny bit of
vanilla infusion, patchouli or sandalwood to this blend for even more complexity.
1 part lavender
1 part
amber essenceA titch of vanilla, rose or rosewood would enhance this blend.
4 parts lavender
1 part rose
Yes, you could add something to ground this blend, like a touch of patchouli or sandalwood, but it smells so good you may want to leave this one alone. Rose can stand up for itself!
Lavender: Sunny and CheerfulIs it really possible that the calming and feminine lavender can become something bright and almost stimulating? Add a little citrus and you are off to a good start:
4 parts lavender
2 part lemon
1 part sweet orange
A titch of ylang ylang or vetiver wouldn't hurt here.
4 parts lavender
1 part lime (I like expressed unless it is a direct skin application, in which case distilled lime is safer due to the phototoxic properties of lime.)
3 parts lavender
1 part sweet orange
Enhance this blend with an herb or spice . . .cinnamon, clove, netmeg; maybe spearmint or basil . . . oh, the possibilities . . .
