confession in the rain

5 oils · Citrus · Floral · Warm spice · code BL-1980


Six drops of bergamot, fresh like the first rain of the season, coriander seed adds a nervous sweet spice, then ylang ylang, rose and jasmine bloom one after another, sweet like words finally spoken out loud. Perfect for rainy evenings at home or whenever you want some romance. Mix the 19-drop batch in a roller bottle; reduce the coriander if you want a pure floral.

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. Coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); rose (deep, silky and luxurious); jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) form the body of the scent and stay 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

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.


FAQ

How do I use confession in the rain in a diffuser?
Add Bergamot 3 · Coriander 2 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Rose 1 · Jasmine 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.
What can I use instead of bergamot?
Swap bergamot for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use confession in the rain?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
