100 brush strokes

2 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-0163


Sitting at the mirror, brushing your hair slowly, one stroke at a time. Two drops of ylang-ylang give off a sweet, creamy, silky yellow-floral scent, while one drop of thyme adds a warm, spicy herbal note that makes it less sweet and more distinctive. A small blend, perfect for a vanity or a mini diffuser. Thyme is fairly sharp, so keep it to exactly one drop, no more.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.


Method

Safety

Skin irritant

Thyme can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use 100 brush strokes in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 2 · Thyme 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of ylang ylang?
Swap ylang ylang for lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.
When is the best time to use 100 brush strokes?
Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.
