How do I use a quick pep breath in a diffuser?

Add Spearmint 2 · Bergamot 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 spearmint?

Swap spearmint for peppermint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: peppermint is cool, sharp and clean.

When is the best time to use a quick pep breath?

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.

A quick pep breath · Spearmint, Bergamot blend

A quick breath of support for someone running low on energy. Two drops of spearmint open with a sweet, chewing-gum coolness, and two drops of bergamot add bright, slightly tea-like peel. Two oils, four drops, neat and cheerful. Good for your desk in the afternoon or a study corner. For a stronger scent, double the recipe and run the diffuser for 15 minutes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) 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.
