dads need a break too

4 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Woody · code BL-0590


Dads need a break too, and a scent that fits their taste. Sandalwood and lemongrass split ten drops each, warm creamy wood with zesty grassy lemon; cedarwood and eucalyptus add dry wood and a cool, airy feel. The scent is tidy and masculine without being harsh. Good for a home office or the living room in the evening. This amount is for a big room; a small room uses half.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass 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.


FAQ

How do I use dads need a break too in a diffuser?
Add Sandalwood 3 · Lemongrass 3 · Cedarwood 1 · Eucalyptus 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 sandalwood?
Swap sandalwood for patchouli or cypress — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: patchouli is like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet.
When is the best time to use dads need a break too?
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.
