Sweet like that one summer · Palmarosa, Geranium, Sweet Orange blend

Palmarosa opens with a grassy rose scent, sweet and fresh, geranium follows, and sweet orange adds cheer. Patchouli is just one drop, but it leaves a warm earthy finish, so the scent lingers like a summer memory. Nice for a bedroom in the afternoon or a journaling corner. If patchouli is not your thing, you can leave it out completely; the blend still feels well rounded.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
