How do I use Sunday scaries in a diffuser?

Add Clary Sage 2 · Jasmine 2 · Bergamot 2 · Roman Chamomile 2 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 clary sage?

Swap clary sage for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use Sunday scaries?

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.

Sunday scaries · Clary Sage, Jasmine, Bergamot blend

Name: Sunday scaries
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 2 drops Clary Sage essential oil; 2 drops Jasmine essential oil; 2 drops Bergamot essential oil; 2 drops Roman Chamomile essential oil

Sunday nights often come with a small worry called Monday. This blend splits four oils evenly: bright bergamot opens, rich jasmine sits in the middle, and clary sage and Roman chamomile line the bottom with a smooth herbal note. Turn it on once your bag for tomorrow is packed, then give yourself ten minutes of lying still. If you like it lighter, use one less drop of jasmine.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring); 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. 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.
