How do I use deadline crushed in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 3 · Lavender 2 · Lemon 2 · Cedarwood 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When is the best time to use deadline crushed?

Run it at your desk or study corner in cycles of 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so your nose does not tune the scent out.

Deadline crushed · Peppermint, Lavender, Lemon blend

Deadline met, file sent, and a big sigh of relief. Three drops of peppermint open icy cool, lavender and lemon, two drops each, add gentle herbs and fresh tang, and a single drop of cedarwood keeps a dry wood base. Great for a desk during the final push. If you're working late, cut peppermint to two drops so it's easier to fall asleep afterward.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
