How do I use dressed to impress in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 3 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Spearmint 1 · Vanilla 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 lemon?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use dressed to impress?

Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.

Dressed to impress · Lemon, Ylang Ylang, Spearmint blend

Outfit on, a look in the mirror, and you look great. Three drops of lemon are bright, two drops of ylang-ylang bring sweet yellow flowers, and spearmint and vanilla, one drop each, add sweet coolness and smooth warmth. This scent suits a vanity table or dressing room before heading out. Add it to a mini diffuser next to the mirror; for extra allure in the evening, raise the ylang-ylang to 3.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
