Notes
Apply a little to the neck or wrists; body warmth brings out the scent. Keep it cool and closed. This is a strong blend, which is fine for perfume since you use so little; start with the smaller amount of essential oil if you have sensitive skin. Safety: do a patch test first. Grapefruit and tangerine oils on skin can cause sun sensitivity.
