Mom's been a bit heated · Clary Sage, Fennel, Ylang Ylang blend

Mom has been a bit hot-tempered lately, and she deserves some pampering too. Four drops of clary sage open with sweet, slightly musky herb, fennel adds warm, sweet anise, and ylang-ylang sprinkles in silky yellow flowers. Good for the living room at night; make mom a cup of tea and sit down to chat. If she isn't used to heavy florals, cut ylang-ylang to two drops.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); fennel (sweet and herbal with a little anise); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.
