How do I use thank you, summer in a diffuser?

Add Ylang Ylang 3 · Sweet Orange 3 · Lemongrass 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 lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use thank you, summer?

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

Thank you, summer · Ylang Ylang, Sweet Orange, Lemongrass blend

Name: thank you, summer
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 3 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil; 3 drops Sweet Orange essential oil; 2 drops Lemongrass essential oil

Ylang-ylang and sweet orange sit equally, sweet tropical florals meeting cheerful orange; lemongrass cuts in fresh and tangy. Radiant like summer sunshine, good for the living room or balcony on leisurely Saturday afternoons. Once the iced tea is made, start the diffuser; ylang-ylang is intense, so in small rooms cut it to 2 drops and add 1 drop of lemongrass.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
