Mixer

Three paths from an empty bench:

1. 1

   Pick a starter blend

   Six pre-built starter recipes at the top. Click one and the scratchpad fills with it.

2. 2

   Tell Chandler what you want

   Type a vibe (“rainy bookstore”, “fall apple orchard at dusk”) into the compose box. Chandler returns a recipe + a shopping list of any oils you don't own. Click LOAD INTO MIXER.

3. 3

   Build it manually

   Click + ADD OIL, search by name or family. Library oils surface first.

1. 1

   Set each oil's oz

   Each oil row has a slider in oz (step 0.01). You're setting the absolute fragrance amount to pour, not a percentage. The TOTAL chip at the bottom reads TOTAL: X.XX oz / Y.YY oz plus one of:

   • ● LOCKED — sum matches the load budget (within 0.005 oz); save enabled.
   • ● OVER BY Δ oz — sum exceeds the budget; save disabled.
   • ▼ ADD Δ oz — sum under the budget; save disabled.

   The load budget (foBudgetOz) is derived from your active wax × load %: wax_oz × load_pct / 100.

2. 2

   Pick a wax

   Required before save. Dropdown shows your saved user_waxes. Defaults to the wax pinned in Settings.

3. 3

   Name the blend

   Type a name OR click ✨ NAME IT for AI suggestions.

   TIP

   Click SAVE without a name and the namer auto-opens. Pick a candidate and the save fires automatically with the chosen name.
4. 4

   Save (four flavors)

   • SAVE BLEND — primary commit, routes to Recipes after.
   • + START ANOTHER — saves, clears the scratchpad, stays in Mixer.
   • SAVE AS VARIANT — POSTs a new recipe with (variant) suffix. Doesn't overwrite the parent.
   • ↻ REMIX — REGENERATE AMOUNTS — does NOT save. Rerolls the oz amounts on the current oils (random 0.5–1.5× weight per oil, normalized so the sum equals foBudgetOz, last oil absorbs rounding) so you can re-explore.

Below the scratchpad. Updates as you add or remove oils. Each card shows a color-coded match score (emerald ≥70, green ≥50, amber ≥30), the oil name, why it scored well, and a notes preview with matched notes highlighted. Click + ADD TO BLEND to drop it in.

• LIBRARY ONLY checkbox — limits suggestions to oils you own.
• Mode toggle — pair to the last-selected oil vs. the whole composition.
• ↻ — reroll suggestions deterministically.

Sits between the family tags and the oil rows. Three colored segments — yellow (top), rose (middle), amber (base) — sized by your blend's current ratio. Updates in real time as you slide. Hidden when none of the oils carry note data.

Click ✨ NAME IT to open. Pick voice + modifier, click ✨ GENERATE, get three candidates. Click any to load. Re-roll for fresh attempts.
