Ylang ylang takes the lead, rich, sweet and alluring like flowers that open at night. Citronella and lemon eucalyptus, three drops each, lighten the bloom with warm grass and a bright zesty streak. Soft and feminine, for a slow walk through the garden in your nightdress before bed. Run the diffuser 20 to 30 minutes in a bedroom with a window onto the garden; ylang ylang is strong, so small rooms need only half.

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rise 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. 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.
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.
