bought myself a pastry

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0800


Buying yourself a pastry to feel better? Nobody's stopping you. Five drops of vanilla open with rich, sweet cream, sweet orange and bergamot add fresh orange and tea-tinged peel, and a single drop of neroli sprinkles in delicate white blossoms. It smells like an orange tart fresh from the oven. Lovely for the living room on a weekend afternoon. For less sweetness, cut vanilla to three drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

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 bought myself a pastry in a diffuser?
Add Vanilla 3 · Sweet Orange 2 · Bergamot 2 · Neroli 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.

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.

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
