didn't see that confession coming

5 oils · Citrus · Floral · Warm spice · code BL-1705


Bergamot is bright from the very first breath, coriander seed slips in with an unexpected sweet-spicy note like a confession out of nowhere, then neroli, rose and jasmine bloom one after another through the middle and finish. Perfect for occasions when you want to surprise your person. The 40-drop ratio is best premixed; use 5–6 drops at a time, and don't add more coriander since it easily overpowers the florals.

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); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear); 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.
