wide awake at 3am

2 oils · Floral · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0105


Lavender opens clean and gentle, and frankincense follows warm like tree resin, with a hint of lemon and smoke. Two simple, pleasant notes, just right for when you wake up in the middle of the night and don't want to turn on the light. Mix this ratio into a small bottle and keep it by the bed; when you wake up, put a drop on a handkerchief or the corner of your pillow, take a few slow breaths, then close your eyes again.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.


Method

Diffuser
Lavender 5 · Frankincense 3 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.
10 ml roller
Lavender 3 · Frankincense 2 drops, then top up with a carrier oil (jojoba or sweet almond). Dab on wrists and the back of the neck.
50 ml room spray
Lavender 19 · Frankincense 11 drops + 1 teaspoon of food-grade alcohol, then top up with distilled water. Shake before spraying.

FAQ

How do I use wide awake at 3am in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 5 · Frankincense 3 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 wide awake at 3am?
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.
