Ice cream shop down the alley · Spearmint, Vanilla, Ylang Ylang blend

The ice cream shop at the end of the alley from your childhood. Spearmint and vanilla, three drops each, blend sweet coolness with smooth, warm sweetness like mint ice cream; a single drop of ylang-ylang adds sweet yellow flowers. The scent is adorable, great for the living room, an older kid's bedroom or a small ice cream shop. On summer afternoons, add 1 drop of spearmint for an even cooler cone.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) 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. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
