tropical resort glow

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2623


Tropical resort style: ylang-ylang opens rich, sweet and a little sensual, then citronella and patchouli pull it down onto bold grass and damp earth so it is not too sugary. Good for a couple's bedroom or a bathroom with a tub on rainy nights. Ylang-ylang is very intense, so in rooms under 15 m² use only half the recipe; run the diffuser for 20 minutes, then switch it off.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony) rises 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. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use tropical resort glow in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 5 · Citronella 2 · Patchouli 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 tropical resort glow?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
