overthinking, eyes closed

3 oils · Floral · Warm spice · code BL-0007


Coriander is the surprise here: spicy-sweet and a little warm, it gives depth to the lavender, which leads with plenty of drops, while geranium closes with a soft, green, rosy floral note. The scent has character without being loud, perfect for nights when your mind keeps running in circles. For rooms over 20 m², use the full recipe; for smaller rooms, halve the drops so the scent doesn't get too thick.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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 overthinking, eyes closed in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 4 · Coriander 3 · Geranium 2 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 ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.
When is the best time to use overthinking, eyes closed?
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.
