boss calls at 10pm

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Tea · code BL-3117


Earl Grey, lavender and geranium, soothing a head that's running hot.

The boss calls at ten at night and your head is on fire: Earl Grey-style tea with gentle bergamot, while lavender and geranium softly talk you down. Great for the bedroom or a home office after hours. Once the call ends, switch on the diffuser, jot down tomorrow's to-dos, close the laptop and call it a day.

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. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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.

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 boss calls at 10pm in a diffuser?
Add Black Tea 3 · Bergamot 2 · Lavender 1 · Geranium 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 boss calls at 10pm?
Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
