Old-school devotion · Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Geranium blend

Ylang ylang opens rich like mom's perfume from years ago, sandalwood and geranium follow to round things out, then patchouli and a touch of jasmine keep the finish warm and slow to fade. Perfect for evenings with oldies, warm lights and a light glass of wine. The 32-drop ratio is best premixed and rested for about a week; when using, 6 drops suits a medium living room.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
