What is the 20 30 50 rule for essential oils?
The 30/50/20 rule Put simply, your blend will be made up from 30% top note oils, 50% middle note oils and 20% base note oils. So if your blend was 10 drops in total, you’d use 3 drops of a top note, 5 of a middle note and 2 of a base note. We told you it was simple! And so on and so forth. The 30/50/20 rule is a simple ratio that helps balance your scents without overthinking it. It goes like this: 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, 20% base notes. Top notes are what you smell first. They’re light, bright, and quick to disappear, like lemon, bergamot, or peppermint.
