How do I use defrost your nose in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 5 · Camphor 3 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 defrost your nose?

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

Defrost your nose · Peppermint, Camphor blend

A frozen nose needs defrosting with a seriously strong cool breeze. Peppermint takes up most of the blend, clearly icy, while camphor makes the whole thing airy and a bit spicy. This is a full-bottle ready-mix ratio, and it's quite strong. Take only 3–4 drops each time for the diffuser, or put 1 drop on a tissue for a quick sniff.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); camphor (icy, strong and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.

Safety

Skin irritant

Camphor 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.
