lying still like a dumpling

6 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0070


Six oils, yet the scent is as mellow as a sleepy little dumpling: lavender is in charge, soft Roman chamomile follows, sweet orange adds a bit of fun, and cedarwood, frankincense and ylang-ylang quietly build a base of wood, resin and flowers. A smooth, layered blend, perfect for a large bedroom. Mix a bottle ahead of time in this ratio, and 5 drops of the mix per use is just right.

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); 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); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use lying still like a dumpling in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 4 · Roman Chamomile 2 · Cedarwood 1 · Sweet Orange 1 · Frankincense 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 rose — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use lying still like a dumpling?
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.
