How do I use the “winding down before bed” blend in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 2 · Lavender 2 · Lemon 1 · Roman Chamomile 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 eucalyptus?

Swap eucalyptus for rosemary or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When does the “winding down before bed” blend work best?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning; diffuse in short 20 to 30 minute runs.

Winding down before bed · Eucalyptus blend

Fifteen minutes of unwinding before sleep, simple and gentle. Eucalyptus and lavender stand level, cool, clear and gentle, lemon brightens, and Roman chamomile closes softly like ripe apples. Put 6 drops in the bedroom diffuser and turn it on when you turn off the main light to read a few pages. Set it to turn off after 30 minutes so the scent doesn't keep you up.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); 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. 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.
