Lavender vs. bergamot for winding down — your experience?

I keep reading lavender is the classic, but bergamot works better for me. Curious what helps everyone else settle in the evening.

    Lavender makes me alert, which apparently isn't rare. Bergamot and vetiver are my evening pair.

    Team lavender, but only 1–2 drops. More than that and it turns sharp and I can't sleep.

    Try lavender *with* cedarwood. On its own it's thin; the cedarwood gives it a floor.

    Ordered cedarwood on the strength of this thread. Will report back.

    Roman chamomile is the underrated one here. Expensive, but a single drop lasts.
