vocab before bed

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · Minty · code BL-1080


In the evening, learning twenty new words before bed. Two drops of lavender lay a soft herbal base, while peppermint and basil, one drop each, add a cool streak and sweet spice, just enough to keep you from getting sleepy too early. Great for a study desk or a bed with a reading lamp. If you're going straight to sleep after studying, leave out the peppermint.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) 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.

FAQ

How do I use vocab before bed in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 2 · Peppermint 1 · Basil 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 vocab before bed?
Run it at your desk or study corner in cycles of 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so your nose does not tune the scent out.
