How to use (ambience)
Diffuser: Start with 2–3 drops in a 200–300 ml diffuser for a gentle room fragrance. For a luminous evening blend, try 2 Rose + 2 Bergamot + 1 Sandalwood. For a soft unwind, try 2 Rose + 2 Lavender + 1 Orange.
Pocket perfume: Dilute at 1–2% in a carrier (e.g., jojoba) and apply lightly to pulse points. Rose is potent—add a single extra drop only if you need more presence.
Linens & space: In a DIY linen spray, combine distilled water + a little solubiliser + a few drops of Rose and Lavender for a gentle, comforting mist. Always spray from a distance and patch test fabrics.
Blends well with
- Bergamot for lift and sparkle
- Orange for a bright, friendly glow
- Sandalwood or Vetiver for depth and warmth
- Lavender for relaxing, evening-friendly softness
Safety & dilution
For external use only. Always dilute before skin application (common DIY topical dilutions are 1–2%). Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store tightly capped, away from heat and light. If pregnant, nursing, or under medical care, consult a professional before use. We frame benefits as ambience and mood; avoid medical or diagnostic claims.
