best friend's wedding guest

5 oils · Floral · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1909


Ten drops of ylang ylang are sweet enough, but sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and geranium layer in one by one to rein it in, creating a sweetness with depth that never goes over the top. Sweet, but in moderation. Great for an evening out to dinner or a movie. Premix the 30-drop batch and rest it a few days; wear it as perfume in a roller bottle.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
