citrus dose for the soul

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-1556


A dose of vitamin C for your mood, through your nose only, of course. Five drops of neroli bring pure white flowers, three drops of sweet orange are cheerful, and two drops of lime are tart and green. The scent is bright yet refined, great for the bedroom or a workspace on low-mood days. Use it in a small room so the neroli keeps all its softness.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) 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. 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lime 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.


FAQ

How do I use citrus dose for the soul in a diffuser?
Add Neroli 5 · Sweet Orange 3 · Lime 2 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 neroli?
Swap neroli 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 citrus dose for the soul?
Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.
