How do I use showing off my good-smelling room in a diffuser?

Add Palmarosa 5 · Ylang Ylang 3 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 palmarosa?

Swap palmarosa for lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use showing off my good-smelling room?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Showing off my good-smelling room · Palmarosa, Ylang Ylang blend

Guests walk in and immediately ask what smells so good. Palmarosa leads with a rose-meets-lemongrass freshness, and ylang-ylang lays a sweet, creamy, silky layer of yellow flowers on top. Two notes create a vibrant floral scent that easily makes an impression. The numbers above are a bottle-mixing ratio; use about 5 drops of the mix per use for a 20 m² living room, and a small room only needs 3 drops.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note); 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.
