city lights, just us two

3 oils · Floral · Woody · code BL-1709


Ylang ylang brings the sweetness, but neroli and cedarwood give it shape: one bright and slightly bitter, the other a neat dry wood. Sweet like someone who knows how to dress without showing off. Great for a minimalist apartment, a creative workspace or a coffee date at home. For daytime use, switch to 2 ylang ylang, 3 neroli for a fresher scent.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
