only slightly lovesick

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-1685


Ylang ylang is still the main voice, sweet yet a little wistful, but sweet orange lifts the mood so you don't sink too deep. Patchouli and sandalwood settle at the bottom, warm and steady, like telling yourself everything will be fine. Perfect for evenings alone with ballads in a small room. Add one drop of sweet orange for a lighter mood; running it about 20 minutes is enough.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises 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. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use only slightly lovesick in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 2 · Sweet Orange 1 · Patchouli 1 · Sandalwood 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 ylang ylang?
Swap ylang ylang 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 only slightly lovesick?
Made for date nights, candlelit dinners and private spaces; switch it on 15 minutes before anyone arrives.
