asleep before midnight

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-0075


Mandarin and lavender share the main role, juicy sweetness mingling with clean herbs, while bergamot adds a fresh, slightly bitter note that makes the scent more elegant. A pleasant blend, bright yet smooth, perfect for your resolution to be in bed before midnight. Citrus scents fade fast, so start the diffuser at 11:30 rather than earlier, so it still smells fresh when you lie down.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.

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 asleep before midnight in a diffuser?
Add Mandarin 4 · Lavender 4 · Bergamot 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 mandarin?
Swap mandarin for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use asleep before midnight?
Run the diffuser for 20–30 minutes before bed with the door closed, then switch it off or set a timer when you get into bed.
