How do I use sour-sweet and adorable in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 3 · Sweet Orange 3 · Neroli 2 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 lemon?

Swap lemon for bergamot or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: bergamot is light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style.

When is the best time to use sour-sweet and adorable?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Sour-sweet and adorable · Lemon, Sweet Orange, Neroli blend

Lemon and sweet orange in balance, tangy-sweet like honey lemonade, and neroli adds white petals for extra charm. Juicy and fun, it suits mornings or sunny days, a little squeeze of sunshine for your day. If you use it in a roller bottle, avoid direct sun after applying; in a diffuser, 5 drops is enough for the whole room.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) 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.
