How do I use the “deadline blocked, porch time” blend in a diffuser?

Add Cedarwood 3 · Eucalyptus 2 · Geranium 2 · Sweet Orange 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 cedarwood?

Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.

When does the “deadline blocked, porch time” blend work best?

Diffuse it on the porch, the balcony or in a living room with the doors open in the early evening, when you want to sit outside a little longer.

Deadline blocked, porch time · Cedarwood blend

Last file sent, work chats muted, and you take a glass of water out to the porch. Cedarwood leads with warm dry wood like an old bookshelf, while eucalyptus, geranium and sweet orange split the rest: clear coolness, green rose and cheerful sweet peel. Steady yet easygoing, made for the moment you finally let go of work. Put the diffuser beside your chair and run it for about 20 minutes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
