Yearbook photo day · Lavender, Geranium, Patchouli blend

Lavender and geranium split evenly at ten drops each, cool and fresh pink like the schoolyard on yearbook photo day, while patchouli and rose add five drops each, lingering like memories. A clear, bittersweet scent: everyone signs the shirts, everyone smells the same. Premix the 30-drop batch; decant it into several small roller bottles to give to your whole friend group.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); rose (deep, silky and luxurious) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
