In need of lying still · Coriander, Lavender, Holy Basil blend

You don't need anything, just to lie still. Coriander, lavender and holy basil share equal drops: warm, spicy sweetness, clean purple herbs and the bold, fragrant scent of holy basil leaves, like a countryside garden. The scent is rustic and unusual, evoking a porch in the countryside, perfect for the living room or bedroom in the afternoon. If you're not used to holy basil, cut it to 2 drops and raise lavender to 4.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); holy basil (warm and spicy with a clove-like edge) 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.

Skin irritant

Holy Basil can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
