sun-dried pillow

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-0027


There's a warm, clean scent only a sun-dried pillow has, and this blend gets very close. Lemon opens bright, lavender takes over the whole middle, cedarwood holds a dry wood base, and Roman chamomile drifts by like a hint of floral sweetness. It suits a bedroom with slanting daytime sun, or right after you change the pillowcases. For a mini diffuser, about 7 drops of lavender and 1 drop of each of the others works well.

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); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lemon 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 sun-dried pillow in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 6 · Cedarwood 1 · Lemon 1 · Roman Chamomile 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 geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use sun-dried pillow?
Run the diffuser for 20–30 minutes before bed with the door closed, then switch it off or set a timer when you get into bed.
