extra pretty today

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Warm spice · code BL-1905


Coriander seed opens with a surprising sweet spice like a raised eyebrow, sweet ylang ylang follows, and one drop of bergamot keeps the scent fresh and airy. Perfect for days you feel prettier than usual and want the world to notice. Mix the six drops in a roller bottle; cut coriander to two drops if you want the scent to lean more toward sweet 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); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.


Method

Diffuser
Coriander 3 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Bergamot 1 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.

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.
