Pocketful of sunshine · Neroli, Sweet Orange, Ylang Ylang blend

Like sunshine tucked into your pocket. Three drops of neroli bring pure white flowers, two drops of sweet orange are cheerful, and two drops of ylang-ylang add sweet yellow blooms. The scent is warm, gentle and radiant, great for the bedroom or living room on overcast days. Switch it on when it rains, and the room will feel like it has a little extra sunlight.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear); 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.
