I think this method must refer to the strength of smell of the oils, because

eucalyptus is usually classified as a top note, peppermint and camomile as

middle

notes. Tisserand calls this 'odour intensity'.

 

But whatever method you find easy is OK. I agree that blending is intuitive, as

long as you know the safety precautions first. Likewise choosing oils by

dowsing -

fine too, I often do this. But you do need to have a full case history first

(in

case the person is sick and/or on medication), and know the oils and their

content.
