the 3pm sleepy wave

3 oils · Floral · Minty · Woody · code BL-1196


The 3 p.m. sleepiness crashes over you like a wave. Four drops of cedarwood lay a steady dry wood base, one drop of ylang ylang adds a touch of sweet florals, and one drop of peppermint brings a wake-up cool streak. Great for a desk right after your lunch break. If you're still yawning, raise peppermint to two drops, stand up, and walk a lap around the room.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.

FAQ

How do I use the 3pm sleepy wave in a diffuser?
Add Cedarwood 4 · Ylang Ylang 1 · Peppermint 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 cedarwood?
Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.
When is the best time to use the 3pm sleepy wave?
Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.
