How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use back hug surprise in a diffuser?
Add Vanilla 4 · Sweet Orange 3 · Patchouli 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 vanilla?
Swap vanilla for frankincense or myrrh — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: frankincense is resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still.
When is the best time to use back hug surprise?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
