Aroma Siez
A basil and marjoram-forward Young Living blend marketed for muscle tension and post-exercise massage.
How to use it
Dilute to 3–5% in a carrier oil and massage directly into tight or sore muscles.
3–5 drops for a sharp, herbaceous aroma, though it's used topically far more often.
In this blend
It smells more like a massage-therapy studio than a perfume counter — functional rather than sweet.
What It’s Built From
Aroma Siez is built around a herbaceous, basil-and-marjoram-forward profile with a cooling mint edge from peppermint, softened slightly by lavender and grounded with a touch of woodsy cypress. Basil and marjoram both have long histories as culinary herbs associated with warmth and comfort, and their combination here is deliberately utilitarian rather than fragrance-first — this is one of Young Living’s go-to blends for massage therapists and anyone dealing with post-exercise muscle tightness.
The Aroma
The overall character is sharp and green, with basil’s slightly peppery top note, marjoram’s warmth underneath, and peppermint’s cooling edge cutting through both. It smells more like a massage-therapy studio than a perfume counter — functional rather than sweet.
Topical Use
Dilute to 3–5% in a carrier oil, a noticeably higher concentration than a typical facial-use dilution, and massage directly into tight or sore muscles. It’s also a common component in Raindrop Technique-style routines, where practitioners layer several oils along the spine in sequence.
When People Reach for It
Aroma Siez shows up most often after a workout, a long day of physical labor, or any activity that leaves muscles feeling tight. Because the cooling-warming combination is fairly intense, many people prefer applying it right before or after activity rather than as a daily preventive rub.
In the Diffuser
3–5 drops gives a sharp, herbaceous aroma, though it’s used topically far more often than aromatically — the diffuser use is more of a side benefit than the blend’s main purpose.
Safety Note
Because the dilution used for muscle massage is higher than typical, patch-test on a small area first, and avoid the eyes and other sensitive areas — peppermint and basil can both cause a strong cooling or tingling sensation on thin skin.
Sourcing Note
Because Aroma Siez is a proprietary Young Living ratio, the named blend is the reliable way to reproduce its intended muscle-relief character.
