How do I use all business, no small talk in a diffuser?

Add Cedarwood 3 · Lemon Eucalyptus 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 cedarwood?

Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.

When is the best time to use all business, no small talk?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

All business, no small talk · Cedarwood, Lemon Eucalyptus blend

Cedarwood and lemon eucalyptus split evenly at three drops each: steady dry wood meets a cool, sharp lemony note, clean like an office early in the morning. Alert and cool, with no room for emotions to butt in. Great at your desk when you need to focus and hit a deadline. Six drops is right for the diffuser; for a little more warmth, add one drop of cedarwood.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
