How do I use flowers without the bouquet in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Geranium 2 · Ylang Ylang 1 · Palmarosa 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 lavender?

Swap lavender 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 flowers without the bouquet?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Flowers without the bouquet · Lavender, Geranium, Ylang Ylang blend

No bouquet needed, the room still smells like fresh flowers. Lavender makes a soft base, geranium adds green rose, ylang-ylang sprinkles a sweet yellow-blossom layer, and palmarosa closes light and fresh. Great for the bedroom, the vanity or a date at home. Ylang-ylang stands out quite a bit, so use 1 drop less if you prefer a lighter scent.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) 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.
