still fresh after school

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-1798


Ylang ylang and bergamot in balance open sweet and fresh, lavender makes the scent clean, and cypress leaves a cool green conifer aftertaste like the schoolyard after the final bell. Wear it as an everyday perfume: dilute it with carrier oil in a roller bottle and dab behind your ears before leaving the house. For a younger scent, raise bergamot to six 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. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) 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.

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 still fresh after school in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 2 · Bergamot 2 · Lavender 2 · Cypress 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 still fresh after school?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
