How do I use playing matchmaker in a diffuser?

Add Palmarosa 5 · Rose 2 · 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 playing matchmaker?

Made for date nights, candlelit dinners and private spaces; switch it on 15 minutes before anyone arrives.

Playing matchmaker · Palmarosa, Rose, Ylang Ylang blend

Palmarosa takes the largest share, fresh like grass with a pink glow, rose weaves in like a soft silk thread, and ylang ylang adds a little sweetness to make the scent round and warm. Great for afternoons playing matchmaker for friends, or a room that wants a light dating vibe. Premix the 35-drop batch in a bottle; use 5 drops each time, and add more palmarosa on muggy days.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note); rose (deep, silky and luxurious); 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.
