Clary sage is an odd, wonderful smell: herbaceous and nutty with a boozy sweetness underneath that people either love immediately or take a while to come around to.
Salvia sclarea, steam distilled from leaves and flowers in France, sits as a middle note and lasts well in a blend. It appears in Tranquil Sleep for a reason, and it works beautifully with lavender and bergamot in an evening diffuser.
Dolphin Clinic ask you to use it in moderation and to avoid alcohol or driving straight afterwards, which is unusually specific advice and worth taking at face value.
