Sleepiness, be gone · Lemon, Lavender, Rosemary blend

Beating back sleepiness without a third cup of coffee. Four drops of lemon open with a bright, fresh tang, lavender and rosemary, three drops each, add gentle calm and sharp green notes, and two drops of blue chamomile bring a mellow herbal sweetness. Great for gray afternoons when your eyes keep drooping. Pair it with an open window and an extra glass of water.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); blue chamomile (deeply herbal, bittersweet and a little smoky) 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.
