Sunday morning self-love

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Resinous & sweet · Warm spice · code BL-1941


Sunday morning belongs to you: bergamot, ylang ylang and vanilla at three drops each, fresh, sweet and warm like a homemade breakfast, while coriander seed adds a playful bit of spice. Perfect for mornings of self-care, face masks and watering plants. Eleven drops is right for the diffuser; reduce the vanilla if you want a cleaner, lighter scent.

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); coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

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 Sunday morning self-love in a diffuser?
Add Bergamot 2 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Vanilla 2 · Coriander 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 bergamot?
Swap bergamot for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

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