traveler finally back in bed

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-0045


Geranium leads with a fresh, green-rose scent, lemon adds a bright tang like just opening a hotel window, then Roman chamomile and sandalwood smooth it all over with a base of floral tea and creamy wood. It suits nights when you've just come home from a trip and haven't even unpacked. The large recipe suits a big-capacity diffuser; for a small one, use 3 drops of geranium and 2 drops of each of the others.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); 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. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
