How do I use hanging out downtown in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 2 · Clary Sage 1 · Ylang Ylang 1 · Sandalwood 1 · Basil 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 geranium?

Swap geranium for lavender or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use hanging out downtown?

Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.

Hanging out downtown · Geranium, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang blend

Five oils, but two drops of geranium lead the way with green rose. Clary sage, ylang-ylang, sandalwood and basil, one drop each: sweet herbs, yellow flowers, creamy wood and lightly spicy green leaves. The scent is refined, excited but never loud. Great for the dressing room before you head out. Double everything if you're using it in a large living room.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
