How do I use back from the midday sun in a diffuser?

Add White Tea 3 · Lime 2 · Peppermint 1 · 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 white tea?

Swap white tea for black tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: black tea is steeped, warm and slightly malty.

When is the best time to use back from the midday sun?

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.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper); 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.
