How do I use soft from the inside out in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 3 · Lavender 2 · Roman Chamomile 2 · Fennel 1 · Clary Sage 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 rose — 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 soft from the inside out?

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.

Soft from the inside out · Geranium, Lavender, Roman Chamomile blend

Geranium opens with a fresh green-rose scent, lavender and Roman chamomile come in equal measure to make the middle clean, sweet and gentle, while fennel and clary sage, one drop each, add slightly sweet, warm herbs. The scent is soft and layered, perfect for the bedroom after applying body lotion. If fennel feels unfamiliar, replace it with 1 drop of lavender.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow); fennel (sweet and herbal with a little anise); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) 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.
