the regular's corner

5 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-1936


Four drops of bergamot, familiar like the tea you always order, lime adds coolness, then ylang ylang, sandalwood and lavender, one drop each, like the familiar faces at the cafe. No menu needed; they already know your order. Pleasant and peaceful, perfect for mornings working at the window seat. Mix the nine drops in a roller bottle or add them to the diffuser on your table.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise 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) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot and Lime 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 the regular's corner in a diffuser?
Add Bergamot 4 · Lime 2 · Ylang Ylang 1 · Sandalwood 1 · Lavender 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.
When is the best time to use the regular's corner?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
