How do I use 2pm brain restart in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 3 · Sweet Orange 3 · Spearmint 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of lemon?

Swap lemon for bergamot or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: bergamot is light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style.

When is the best time to use 2pm brain restart?

Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
