flawless skin, no bites

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2577


Ylang-ylang owns the stage with sweet, sensual florals, while citronella and lemon eucalyptus stand behind, adding grass and lemon so it never gets too sweet. Perfect for a couple's bedroom, a vanity, or evenings when you want to smell a little glamorous. Ylang-ylang is very rich, so small rooms need only 5–6 drops; run the diffuser for 20 minutes, switch it off, and the scent lingers a long time.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) 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. 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.

FAQ

How do I use flawless skin, no bites in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 5 · Citronella 2 · Lemon Eucalyptus 2 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 lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.
When is the best time to use flawless skin, no bites?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
