How do I use the “deadline in the air-conditioned room” blend in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 3 · Eucalyptus 2 · Lavender 2 · Lemon 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 does the “deadline in the air-conditioned room” blend work best?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning; diffuse in short 20 to 30 minute runs.

Deadline in the air-conditioned room

Deadline closing in, door shut, the air conditioner running from afternoon till late. Three drops of icy peppermint, two of clear, airy eucalyptus, two of lavender to keep your head from tensing up, and one drop of clean, fresh lemon. A wakeful scent that makes a closed room feel less stuffy during long hours at the computer. Eight drops in the desk diffuser, 20 minutes per round; rest your eyes for five minutes every hour.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); 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. 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.
