How do I use lights off, dreams on in a diffuser?

Add Black Tea 2 · Smilax 2 · Lavender 2 · Mandarin 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 black tea?

Swap black tea for white tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: white tea is light and clean with a floral whisper.

When is the best time to use lights off, dreams on?

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.

Lights off, dreams on · Black Tea, Smilax, Lavender blend

Black tea, lavender, sweet earthy root and mandarin; lights off, dreams on.

Lights off, pitch dark, dreams begin: black tea, lavender and smilax in equal parts create a warm, soft scent with a sweet earthy-root note, and a drop of mandarin adds a light freshness. Great for the bedroom in cold weather or a room with blackout curtains. Switch it on 15 minutes before bed; for a softer version, raise lavender to three drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Smilax (warm, earthy and rooty, lightly sweet and rustic) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
