Essential Oils Pocket Guide | handmade booklet | 32 pages

Essential oils are nature's mood-boosters — and blending them together is a satisfying way to bring natural fragrance into your home and into homemade crafts. This Essential Oils Pocket Guide – written, illustrated, riso printed and handmade by Hairy Jayne – is the perfect starting point for beginners who want to create their own bespoke scent blends.

Whatever you're adding nature fragrance to around your home, this handy little guide will give you everything you need to get started. Featuring 24 of our favourite essential oils across the green, woody, citrus and floral categories, you'll learn which we use as top, mid and base notes when creating a blend, where each oil is extracted from, and the unique benefit it brings to a fragrance. All presented in a handy A7 sized booklet you can keep close by while you create.

Hairy Jayne is a designer-maker who teaches scent-blending workshops and has created a range of products fragranced with her own essential oil blends. The knowledge within these pages comes from real experience.

This would make a lovely gift for anyone curious about natural fragrance, wellness or homemade crafts.

Risograph printing is a cross between screenprinting and photocopying. The guides are printed in biodegradable, soy-based ink onto pink and off-white on sugar paper and then stapled by hand. The booklets have a wonderfully tactile feel, slightly textured. Due to the nature of riso printing, each one carries its own subtle imperfections — making each one unique and perfectly in keeping with Hairy Jayne's handmade, DIY spirit.
