How do I use still as a napping cat in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Ylang Ylang 1 · Lemon 1 · Frankincense 1 · 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 Roman chamomile or rose — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: Roman chamomile is like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow.

When is the best time to use still as a napping cat?

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.

Still as a napping cat · Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Lemon blend

Still as a cat napping on the windowsill. Seven drops of lavender spread a soft mattress; ylang-ylang, lemon and frankincense at four drops each bring a bit of sweet yellow flower, a flash of lemon peel and a layer of warm resin, then geranium scatters green rose petals. Good for a midday nap, curtains half drawn. In a small room, half the recipe is just right.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
