How do I use old money, Vietnamese style in a diffuser?

Add Jasmine 5 · Ylang Ylang 3 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 jasmine?

Swap jasmine 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 old money, Vietnamese style?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Old money, Vietnamese style · Jasmine, Ylang Ylang blend

Eight drops of jasmine lead, sweet, white and refined like flowers in the courtyard of an old family house, and ylang ylang adds a rich sweet floral layer. Luxury the Vietnamese way, discreet yet noble. Mix the twelve drops in a roller bottle; apply it to your wrists and behind your ears, and use less ylang ylang if you want a cleaner scent.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring); 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.
