sad, but still got up

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0631


Sad, sure, but you still got up this morning. Bergamot and sweet orange split three drops each, slightly tea-like peel blending with fresh sweetness like early sunlight; frankincense lines it with warm resin, and a single drop of geranium adds green rose. Good for the bedroom in the morning, while you open the curtains and fold the blanket. Switch it on 10 minutes before you wake so the citrus calls you up gently.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

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

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.


FAQ

How do I use sad, but still got up in a diffuser?
Add Bergamot 3 · Sweet Orange 3 · Frankincense 2 · Geranium 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 bergamot?
Swap bergamot for lemon or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use sad, but still got up?
Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
