How do I use tender, not cheesy in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 3 · Frankincense 3 · Palmarosa 3 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 geranium?

Swap geranium for lavender or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use tender, not cheesy?

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

Tender, not cheesy · Geranium, Frankincense, Palmarosa blend

Geranium, frankincense and palmarosa split evenly at five drops each: fresh pink, warm resin and cool pink grass, tender without being cheesy at all. Affection, said simply and sincerely. A gentle, mature scent for every occasion, from work to a date. Mix the fifteen drops in a roller bottle; add more frankincense if you want it warmer and longer-lasting.

How it unfolds

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

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
