How do I use bright-eyed, not wired in a diffuser?

Add Roman Chamomile 3 · Lavender 2 · Juniper 1 · Eucalyptus 1 · Spearmint 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 Roman chamomile?

Swap Roman chamomile for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.

When is the best time to use bright-eyed, not wired?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Bright-eyed, not wired · Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Juniper blend

Wide awake, but never harsh. Roman chamomile takes the biggest share with gentle sweet apple, lavender cushions it with clean purple flowers, and juniper, eucalyptus and spearmint open up a cool, minty, airy layer on top. A big batch, good for using bit by bit on mornings. Add about 5 drops of the mix each time; for a small bedroom, just 3 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); 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.
