Bergamot, rose and geranium over patchouli; a white-tea chypre.

Having good taste means knowing how to balance: bright bergamot at the top, soft rose and geranium in the middle, warm earthy patchouli at the base, like a white-tea take on a classic chypre. Great for a creative workspace, a studio or a moody living room. If patchouli feels heavy, reduce it and raise white tea to four drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); rose (deep, silky and luxurious) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use scent with taste in a diffuser?
Add White Tea 3 · Bergamot 2 · Geranium 1 · Rose 1 · 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 white tea?
Swap white tea for black tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: black tea is steeped, warm and slightly malty.
When is the best time to use scent with taste?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
