home from a long trip

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-1411


Just back from vacation, skin still sun-kissed, heart still floating. Eight drops of lavender are soft, six drops of Roman chamomile add a dried-apple, meadow-flower note, four drops of rose are sweet, and two drops of sweet orange are cheerful. It's just right in the bedroom while you unpack your suitcase. The ratio has quite a lot of drops, so for a small room use about half at a time.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow); rose (deep, silky and luxurious) 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.

FAQ

How do I use home from a long trip in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 3 · Roman Chamomile 2 · Rose 2 · Sweet Orange 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 ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use home from a long trip?
Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.
