pretty, no bite marks

Geranium takes charge with fresh green rose, lavender and rosemary split the middle, soft florals meeting sharp herbs, and patchouli lays a warm, earthy base. A feminine, clean scent for the vanity or dressing room on evenings you are getting ready to go out. Dilute into a clothing spray and mist your skirt hem and bag; for a sweeter take, add 2 drops of geranium.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use pretty, no bite marks in a diffuser?
Add Geranium 3 · Lavender 2 · Rosemary 2 · Patchouli 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 geranium?
Swap geranium for ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.
When is the best time to use pretty, no bite marks?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
