How do I use the “poetry on the balcony” blend in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 4 · Ylang Ylang 3 · Roman Chamomile 2 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 lavender?

Swap lavender for geranium or rose — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.

When does the “poetry on the balcony” blend work best?

Diffuse it on the porch, the balcony or in a living room with the doors open in the early evening, when you want to sit outside a little longer.

Poetry on the balcony · Lavender, Ylang Ylang blend

A slim book of poems, a small lamp, and a dark balcony with nothing but the wind. Lavender leads gently, ylang ylang is sweet, rich and soft, and Roman chamomile at the end smells like ripe apple and honey. All three oils are soft, so the scent is round, perfect for time on your own. Put the diffuser beside your chair and run it for about 20 minutes; if ylang ylang feels heavy, drop 1 drop.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow) 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.
