How do I use the “rainy night, early bed” blend in a diffuser?

Add Myrrh 3 · Tea Tree 2 · Lemon 2 · Thyme 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 myrrh?

Swap myrrh for frankincense or vanilla — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: frankincense is resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still.

When does the “rainy night, early bed” blend work best?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning; diffuse in short 20 to 30 minute runs.

Rainy night, early bed · Myrrh, Tea Tree blend

Three drops of myrrh open with a warm, slightly bitter resin-wood note, quite unlike the usual icy blends; tea tree and lemon share two drops each, clean and fresh, and one drop of thyme adds dry herbs. Soft, warm and not too minty, it suits rainy evenings when you want to get into bed early. Eight drops in the bedroom diffuser, with the timer set to turn off after 45 minutes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
