Ingredients

• 10 parts ink
• 5 parts essential oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ink Reservoir:
   Begin by filling the reservoir of your fountain pen with ink, but be sure not to fill it completely to the top. This allows room for the essential oil without overflowing.

2. Mix the Scent:
   Empty the ink from the reservoir into a mixing container, such as an old teaspoon or a small bowl. Add the essential oil to the ink in the container. If you prefer, you can also use the smallest bottle of ink and add the essential oils directly to this bottle.

3. Combine and Refill:
   Stir the mixture gently to ensure that the essential oil is thoroughly blended with the ink. Once combined, refill the reservoir with the scented ink mixture.

4. Choose Your Essential Oils:
   You can use essential oils based on your preference or the mood you wish to convey. Here are some suggestions:

   • Lemon (refreshing)
   • Lavender (relaxing, calming)
   • Geranium (calming)
   • Mandarin (calming)

   Alternatively, for a blend that carries a warm and uplifting note, try combining:

   • Lemon (2 drops)
   • Eucalyptus (3 drops)
   • Pine (1 drop)
   • Lavender (2 drops)

   This blend can be perfect for a “get well” message or any uplifting correspondence.

Notes

• The proportions of ink to essential oil can be adjusted based on your preference for fragrance strength.
• Ensure that the essential oils used are compatible with your fountain pen’s ink to avoid any potential damage.

Enjoy writing with your custom-scented ink, adding a personal and aromatic touch to every note you send!
