Cot nap at noon · Peppermint, Roman Chamomile blend

A folding cot by the window, the noon sun blazing, and you just want a 20-minute nap. Peppermint opens icy-cool to chase away the midday heat, and Roman chamomile follows with a soft, gently sweet apple note. Good for the office, living room or porch at lunch break. Run a mini diffuser 10 minutes before lying down; if peppermint keeps you too awake, switch the ratio to 3 peppermint and 5 Roman chamomile.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow) 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.
