glam, within reason

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-1593


Glamorous, but knowing exactly when to stop. Three drops of ylang-ylang bring sweet yellow flowers, two drops of sandalwood add warm, creamy wood, and sweet orange and cedarwood, one drop each, bring cheer and dry wood. The scent is alluring yet refined, great for a dressing room or vanity table. To tone down the glam, cut the ylang-ylang to 2.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises 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. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use glam, within reason in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 3 · Sandalwood 2 · Sweet Orange 1 · Cedarwood 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 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 glam, within reason?
Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.
