goodnight, and I mean it

5 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-0025


Lemon and sweet orange pop up first, fresh and bright, but within a few minutes lavender and cedarwood pull the scent into a smooth, woody, herbal range. A single drop of ylang-ylang at the end is like a whispered goodnight. The blend suits evenings when you want to wind down but aren't sleepy yet, like when you're texting someone goodnight. Turn it on about 15 minutes before getting into bed.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lemon 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 goodnight, and I mean it in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 2 · Cedarwood 2 · Lemon 2 · Sweet Orange 1 · Ylang Ylang 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 lavender?
Swap lavender 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 goodnight, and I mean it?
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.
