4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-1816


Everyone who smells it nods, because sweet orange and bergamot open very fresh and cheerful, jasmine adds a gentle sweetness, and patchouli keeps a warm base so the scent doesn't vanish. Great as an everyday perfume for any occasion. Mix the fifteen drops with carrier oil in a 10 ml roller bottle; add more jasmine for a more feminine scent.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise 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. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

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 everyone asks what I'm wearing in a diffuser?
Add Sweet Orange 3 · Bergamot 2 · Jasmine 2 · Patchouli 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 sweet orange?
Swap sweet orange for lemon or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use everyone asks what I'm wearing?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
