Air Element Incense Ingredients

Base notes

Middle Notes

Top Notes

Anise
Bay Laurel
Bergamot
Marjoram
Peppermint
Pine Needles
Star Anise

Top notes are the first aromas we smell. They're often lighter, sweeter and spicier, and diffuse into the air very quickly.

Middle notes (heart notes) diffuse into the air more slowly. They give body and fullness to a recipe.

Base notes are the longest lasting scents and most "fixed" of all. Most Base note ingredients are also "fixatives" meaning they combine or "fixate" all the ingredients together as one.

In most cases, at least one base note ingredient is recommended in a recipe. Combining multiple top, middle, and base notes will create an aroma with much more depth and body. There are no hard and fast rules though so have fun experimenting with each group to see what suits you.

You can also blend Air Element ingredients with ingredients of other properties if you like, such as with those that are astrological, or perhaps with a few that represent the current season, etc.

The possibilities are endless and filled with enjoyment… have fun!
