squishy as a marshmallow

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-0239


Soft, white, round, and everyone wants to squeeze it. Ylang-ylang opens with sweet, creamy yellow flowers, while juniper, sweet orange and lavender share the back equally: fresh conifer, juicy ripe fruit and clean herbs. The scent is well-rounded and friendly, perfect for the living room or bedroom. A mini diffuser only needs 2 drops of each so the florals don't take over; turn it on when the family gathers.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.

FAQ

How do I use squishy as a marshmallow in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 2 · Juniper 2 · Sweet Orange 2 · Lavender 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 ylang ylang?
Swap ylang ylang for geranium or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use squishy as a marshmallow?
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.
