How do I use checking out a new cafe in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Rose 3 · Cedarwood 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 lavender?

Swap lavender 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 checking out a new cafe?

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

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); rose (deep, silky and luxurious) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

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