butterflies in my stomach

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1608


That butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling every time you see them. Ylang-ylang, bergamot and vanilla split evenly at three drops each: sweet yellow flowers, elegant citrus and warm, smooth vanilla, sweet but never cloying. This scent suits the bedroom or a vanity table before a date. If it feels too sweet, cut the vanilla to 2 and let the bergamot lead.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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

Photosensitizing

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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.
