mandarin mini escape

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-1492


Just planning to sneak away from work for five minutes. Ylang-ylang, mandarin and lime split evenly at two drops each: sweet yellow flowers, juicy mandarin and a playful green tang. The scent is cheerful and light, great for a home workspace when you need a short break. Switch on the diffuser, pour a glass of water, sit and gaze out the window, then get back to work.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise 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. 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.
