after the storm

2 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-0378


The storm has passed and the sky is clearing. Geranium and bergamot split it evenly: fresh, lightly sweet green rose meets elegant, slightly bitter citrus. The scent is bright and easy, right for the living room or desk after a rough stretch. For a room around 12 m², use 3 drops of each; open the window, dust the desk, and start a fresh page in your notebook.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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.


Method

Diffuser
Geranium 5 · Bergamot 5 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.
10 ml roller
Geranium 2 · Bergamot 2 drops, then top up with a carrier oil (jojoba or sweet almond). Dab on wrists and the back of the neck.
50 ml room spray
Geranium 15 · Bergamot 15 drops + 1 teaspoon of food-grade alcohol, then top up with distilled water. Shake before spraying.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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 after the storm in a diffuser?
Add Geranium 5 · Bergamot 5 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 after the storm?
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.
