Tiny desk, big mood · Ylang Ylang, Neroli blend

A tiny corner of a desk, but the mood has to be big. Ylang-ylang and neroli are split evenly: sweet, creamy yellow flowers meet delicate, slightly bitter white flowers. The floral scent is vibrant and luxurious and spreads fast, even with only four drops. It suits a mini diffuser on your desk or a bookshelf; since both are rich florals, there's no need to use more; running it for 15 minutes and then pausing is enough.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
