polite, within reason

2 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-1961


Three drops of sharp green rosemary keep your mind alert, and two drops of ylang ylang add just enough sweetness, like a social compliment that's still sincere. Polite and pleasant, it suits crowded gatherings like company parties or parent-teacher meetings. Mix the five drops in a roller bottle; add more ylang ylang for more sweetness, or keep it as is when you need to focus.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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. 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.
