officially a grown-up

6 oils · Floral · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1970


A big recipe for someone who's grown up: palmarosa and frankincense split evenly at twenty-eight drops each, fresh and warmly resinous, then cedarwood, rosewood and sandalwood layer a deep woody base, with ylang ylang sprinkling just four sweet drops. Full and serene. Mix the 108-drop batch in a large bottle and rest it a week; use 5 drops at a time or decant it into a roller bottle.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note); rosewood (sweet, floral and woody, soft and rosy); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use officially a grown-up in a diffuser?
Add Palmarosa 2 · Frankincense 2 · Cedarwood 1 · Rosewood 1 · Sandalwood 1 · Ylang Ylang 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 palmarosa?
Swap palmarosa for lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.
When is the best time to use officially a grown-up?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
