How do I use clean, never overpowering in a diffuser?

Add Lime 3 · Eucalyptus 3 · Thyme 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 lime?

Swap lime for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use clean, never overpowering?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Clean, never overpowering · Lime, Eucalyptus, Thyme blend

Clean but never overpowering, just soft enough. Lime, eucalyptus and thyme split fifteen drops each: slightly bitter citrus peel, clear coolness and dry spicy herbs, with no scent taking over. It works in the living room or home office all year round. Use 5 drops per diffuser session; add 1 drop of lemon if you want it brighter.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lime can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Thyme can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
