lunch-break touch-up

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-1966


Midday is for touching up your makeup and your scent too: four drops of sweet ylang ylang, three drops of fresh pink geranium, and two drops of fennel adding an unusual sweet aroma that makes coworkers curious. Fresh and bright, it helps the afternoon feel less sluggish. Mix the nine drops in a mini pocket roller bottle; use less ylang ylang if your office has little airflow.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); fennel (sweet and herbal with a little anise) 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.

FAQ

How do I use lunch-break touch-up in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 4 · Geranium 3 · Fennel 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 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 lunch-break touch-up?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
