I want to mix 2 EO together but I have no idea of the amout to use of each one

I read something about a toothpick test before mixing the hole thing together
Do you know how to do this test

( EO are expensive I dont want to waste the entire bottles)

I was planning to mix camphor and rosemary

Camphor is extremely strong. You won't need much at all. You can do the toothpics by dipping each one in each oil, then put them together in a baggie or a small glass. I'm not sure how well this would work in this case though, as the smell of camphor will overcome the rosemary. What are you going to use this blend for?

I agree with Soapbuddy- camphor is very strong. And not suitable for many applications. Rosemary already has a slight camphorous note. Another way to test out blends is with a q-tip. I usually add drops to a q-tip and put in a jar then smell it right away, wait a little while and smell it, etc. Every blend as different ratios, and it's really experimenting to find what you like best.
