week one after the breakup

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0752


The first week after a breakup, when everything reminds you of them. Geranium and bergamot split three drops each, green rose blending with slightly tea-like peel; ylang-ylang and frankincense add sweet yellow flowers and warm resin. Good for the bedroom at night. Turn on the diffuser, tidy up one corner of your room, and call your best friend to talk.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot 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 week one after the breakup in a diffuser?
Add Geranium 3 · Bergamot 3 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Frankincense 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 geranium?
Swap geranium for lavender or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.
When is the best time to use week one after the breakup?
Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
