How do I use calm, with the controls on in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 2 · Lavender 2 · Lemongrass 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 ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.

When is the best time to use calm, with the controls on?

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.

Calm, with the controls on · Geranium, Lavender, Lemongrass blend

Calm, but still alert enough to stay in charge. Geranium, lavender and lemongrass split two drops each: green rose, soft purple flowers and zesty grassy lemon blend in perfect balance. Good for your desk in the afternoon, when you need to stay calm and power through the inbox. For more calm than alert, drop lemongrass to one drop; for more alert than calm, do the opposite.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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

Skin irritant

Lemongrass 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.
