soft as a cotton pillow

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Tea · code BL-3012


White tea under a soft powdery orris veil, lightly sweet mandarin up top.

White tea makes up the most, topped with a soft powdery layer of orris, while mandarin leads with a light sweetness. The scent is smooth and round, like burying your face in a brand-new fluffy pillow. Great for the bedroom, the sofa in the afternoon, or bedtime stories with your kids. Use a small amount, about 4 drops, since orris lingers for quite a while.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Orris (powdery, soft and very elegant) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.


Method

FAQ

How do I use soft as a cotton pillow in a diffuser?
Add White Tea 4 · Mandarin 2 · Orris 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 white tea?
Swap white tea for black tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: black tea is steeped, warm and slightly malty.
When is the best time to use soft as a cotton pillow?
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.
