How do I use escape to the countryside in a diffuser?

Add Ylang Ylang 2 · Lavender 2 · Neroli 1 · Geranium 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 ylang ylang?

Swap ylang ylang for Roman chamomile or rose — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: Roman chamomile is like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow.

When is the best time to use escape to the countryside?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Escape to the countryside · Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Neroli blend

Can't make it back to your hometown? Bring a bit of village flowers into your room. Ylang-ylang and lavender at two drops each open with gentle, sweet flowers, like a flowering trellis in someone's front yard; neroli and geranium add one drop each for freshness and lightness. Good for a weekend evening in your apartment while you call your mom. If ylang-ylang is too heady, switch to one drop of ylang-ylang and three of lavender.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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.
