Rituals Guide

Essential oils work best when they are woven into intention. These four rituals are designed around the moments your day already contains — a morning, a transition, a wind-down, a rest.

Calme — For moments of unwinding

When the day has asked too much: diffuse true lavender or Roman chamomile in the hour before you slow down. Two drops on your pillow. A few breaths with your eyes closed before you pick up your phone again.

Recommended oils: Lavande fine de Haute-Provence, Camomille romaine

Clarté — Sharpen your attention

Before focused work: a single drop of rosemary or peppermint on the inside of the wrists, rubbed together once, then cupped over the nose. Inhale for five seconds. The effect is immediate and, unlike caffeine, it does not accumulate.

Recommended oils: Romarin CT camphre, Menthe poivrée

Sommeil — Prepare for deep rest

The sleep ritual begins before the bedroom. Diffuse vetiver or cedarwood in the living room as you complete your evening. By the time you move through to sleep, the transition has already begun.

Recommended oils: Vétiver de Madagascar, Cèdre de l'Atlas

Vitalité — Awaken body and mind

On mornings that ask for more: a cold-water face wash followed by two drops of bergamot or lemon on the chest. The citrus evaporates quickly — the lift does not.

Recommended oils: Bergamote de Calabre, Citron de Sicile

A note on application

All Domaine Botanique oils are pure — undiluted. For topical use, always blend with a carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, or fractionated coconut) at a ratio of 2–3 drops of essential oil per 10ml of carrier. For children under 12 or during pregnancy, consult a qualified aromatherapist before use.
