Sarah Whitman — DIY & Home-Blend Specialist

DIY & Home-Blend Specialist

Sarah Whitman handles the DIY corner of Aroma Paradise — the recipe pages where readers want exact ratios, exact supply lists, and the difference between a 15 % fragrance load and a 30 % fragrance load. She tests every recipe before it ships.

Sarah ran a small-batch candle and reed-diffuser studio for six years before moving full-time into editorial work. Her test bench in upstate New York is where the ratios in her articles come from: the 30 % fragrance oil / 70 % carrier ratio for reed diffusers, the polysorbate-20 emulsion that lets a fragrance oil mix into water for a room spray, the cool-pour temperature where soy wax holds the most scent without frosting.

Her DIY cluster on Aroma Paradise — reed diffuser, room spray, best fragrance oils for candle making, best bath-bomb scents — is the most copied-and-pasted recipe content on the site, by user heatmap. She does not invent ratios; everything in her articles comes from a tested batch.

What Sarah covers on Aroma Paradise

  • DIY recipes — reed diffusers, room sprays, refill formulas, batch scaling
