How do I use awake in a snap in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When is the best time to use awake in a snap?

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

Awake in a snap · Peppermint, Bergamot blend

Awake in a snap with just peppermint and bergamot. Peppermint is icy and decisive, bergamot follows with a clean citrus note with a floral hint, keeping the whole thing polite and never loud. Two drops of each are enough for a desk or a small bedroom. Tip: drop them onto a cotton ball placed near a fan, a quick way to scent the room when you haven't had time to get the diffuser out.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); 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.
