cycling through the Old Quarter

2 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-2029


Four drops of sweet white jasmine, like the flowers on the porches of old houses, and two drops of sweet orange, cheerful like a sidewalk glass of orange juice. A light, unhurried scent, like a morning bike ride through narrow old streets. Mix the six drops in a roller bottle; add more sweet orange on hot days, and avoid the sun right after applying.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) 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.


Method

FAQ

How do I use cycling through the Old Quarter in a diffuser?
Add Jasmine 4 · Sweet Orange 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 jasmine?
Swap jasmine 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 cycling through the Old Quarter?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
