How do I use drifting thoughts, then asleep in a diffuser?

Add Ylang Ylang 4 · Lavender 3 · Myrrh 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 ylang ylang?

Swap ylang ylang for geranium or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.

When is the best time to use drifting thoughts, then asleep?

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.

Drifting thoughts, then asleep · Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Myrrh blend

With plenty of ylang-ylang, the opening is sweet, richly floral and a little creamy. Lavender keeps it from getting too sweet, while myrrh settles into a warm, slightly woody, deep base. The blend suits evenings of lying there daydreaming, letting your thoughts drift until you fall asleep without noticing. Ylang-ylang is quite strong, so in a small room, cut it back to 3 drops for better balance.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
