How do I use cycling around the lake in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 3 · Rosemary 2 · Bergamot 2 · 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 lemon?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use cycling around the lake?

Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.

Cycling around the lake · Lemon, Rosemary, Bergamot blend

Cycling around the lake with the wind in your face. Three drops of lemon are fresh and bright, rosemary and bergamot, two drops each, bring green herbs and elegant citrus, and one drop of basil adds spicy-sweet leaves. The scent is fresh and sporty, great for the living room or the car on a weekend morning. For a cooler feel like the lake breeze, add 1 drop of spearmint.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) 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.
