shoes off, day off

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-0584


Take off your shoes at the door, and all the tiredness comes off with them. Four drops of lavender make a soft floral base, lime opens with fresh, tart green citrus, Roman chamomile adds sweet apple, and a single drop of geranium scatters a green rose note. Good for the entryway or living room in the early evening. If your diffuser has a timer, set it to start before you get home so the scent greets you at the door.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) 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); 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lime 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 shoes off, day off in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 4 · Lime 2 · Roman Chamomile 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 lavender?
Swap lavender for ylang ylang or rose — 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 shoes off, day off?
Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.
