How do I use alert, not jittery in a diffuser?

Add Clary Sage 5 · Peppermint 3 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 clary sage?

Alert, not jittery · Clary Sage, Peppermint blend

To stay alert without the jitters, go with clary sage. Five drops of clary sage open with a soft, sweet herbal scent with a hint of tea, very composed; three drops of peppermint add just enough icy cool to sharpen your mind. Made for people whose heart races after coffee and who need a gentler way to wake up. Set the diffuser on your desk in the morning; 20 minutes of run time is just right.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
