a true rest day

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-0322


No chores, no office work, just rest. Geranium leads with fresh green rose, Roman chamomile softens it with apple tea, and thyme adds a warm, spicy herbal note that gives the scent depth. It suits the living room or a balcony on the morning of a day off. For a room of about 12 m², use 2, 1 and 1 drops; if thyme feels a bit sharp, cut it by half.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) form the body of the scent and stay 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.


Method

Diffuser
Geranium 5 · Roman Chamomile 3 · Thyme 2 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.

Safety

Skin irritant

Thyme can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

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.


FAQ

How do I use a true rest day in a diffuser?
Add Geranium 5 · Roman Chamomile 3 · Thyme 2 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 geranium?
Swap geranium for lavender or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.
When is the best time to use a true rest day?
Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.
