Lavender
Soft, floral, slightly herbal — the single most recognized "wind-down" scent, tied to aromatherapy's own origin story (chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé, who coined the term in 1937, is said to have reached for lavender oil after a lab accident).
Roman chamomile
Warm, apple-like, gentle — long used in teas and evening rituals across Europe.
Bergamot
A rounder, less sharp citrus, often described as "warm citrus" — common in evening blends specifically because it reads calming rather than energizing.
Ylang ylang
Sweet, floral, slightly exotic — a staple in spa-style evening blends for its rich, soft character.
