How we blend

A walk-through of how a Calm bottle is built — top, heart, base, and the long pauses between.

How we blend

Every blend in the Whoga line is built in three layers — top, heart, base. The top is what you smell first; it's also the first thing to leave the room. The heart is the middle of the bottle, the centre of gravity. The base is what stays on a linen cushion the next morning.

Calm starts with Bergamot at the top, leans on Lavender and Roman Chamomile in the heart, and rests on Vetiver at the base. Each oil sits with the others for at least 14 days before we even smell the result.

We blend in 200ml batches. Anything bigger and the proportions stop behaving the way you expect.

The slow part isn't a marketing line — it's the only way the layers learn to live with each other.
