Isabelle G.: In diffusion "I love Rosemary, Ylang and Grapefruit at first sight".  

Simon F.: "Small synergy in diffusion this morning at the beginning of my last study session: 6 drops of Ylang-ylang and 3 drops of Rosemary verbenone. It's a very nice blend. Ylang-ylang calms me down, anchors me in the present moment, while Rosemary verbenone brings a freshness and therefore gives me energy. The best of both worlds! "
