How do I use after the afternoon nap in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 2 · Pine 2 · Basil 1 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 lavender?

Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.

When is the best time to use after the afternoon nap?

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

After the afternoon nap · Lavender, Pine, Basil blend

Waking up from a midday nap without the jolt. Lavender and pine, two drops each: one soft and purple-floral, the other dry, green resin; basil adds a little sweet spice so your head slowly boots back up. This blend is gentle but won't lull you back to sleep, great for the nap room at the office. To wake up faster, swap 1 drop of lavender for 1 drop of basil.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

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.
