How do I use after-work mojito hour in a diffuser?

Add Spearmint 3 · Lime 3 · Basil 1 · Juniper 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 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 after-work mojito hour?

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

After-work mojito hour · Spearmint, Lime, Basil blend

Spearmint and lime sit equally, sweet coolness meeting green lime peel like a mojito; basil and juniper follow with spicy leaves and needle-wood. Good for the living room or balcony during happy hour at home, no bar tab required. Start the diffuser as you mix the drinks; for a fresher version, add 1 drop of lime.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise); juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood) 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.
