3pm heavy eyelids

4 oils · Citrus · Minty · Tea · code BL-3132


Mandarin tea cooled by spearmint, green lemon leaf; awake again after lunch.

Three in the afternoon, eyelids drooping: black tea and fresh mandarin are warm, spearmint is sweet and cool, and lush green lemon leaf helps you wake up after lunch. Great for the office, a classroom or a home workspace. Stand up and walk around a bit, drink some water, run the diffuser for 15 minutes, then get back to what you were doing.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty) 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.

FAQ

How do I use 3pm heavy eyelids in a diffuser?
Add Black Tea 3 · Mandarin 2 · Spearmint 1 · Lemon Leaf 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of black tea?
Swap black tea for white tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: white tea is light and clean with a floral whisper.
When is the best time to use 3pm heavy eyelids?
Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.
