tired? take five

3 oils · Floral · Woody · code BL-0687


Tired? Take a little break. Not yet? Try this. Three drops of lavender open with soft purple flowers, neroli adds bright white flowers, and a single drop of patchouli lines it with warm earth. The scent is neat and smooth without making you sleepy. Good for your desk in the afternoon or the bedroom in the evening. For something fresher, add one drop of neroli to the diffuser.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
