Agreed that 10% citrus would be overkill and then some. I don't know the %s on my essentials since I just add them after the carrier is mixed until it smells the way I want it to.

I do 50/50 grapeseed and jojoba and then add my scent mix (1 part lemongrass, 2 part sage, 3 part cedarwood). Add your scents, if your mixing them, in ratio to one another until the total strength of your carrier+essentials is where you like it, that way it doesn't end up too strong after the initial mixing.

I like the lemongrass because it is a strong invigorating scent early, then my other smells linger after the lemongrass has faded to give me a nice woodsy smell. But the smells can go a million ways and are fun just to see what you can get so experiment a bit for yourself.
