How do I use due at 5pm sharp in a diffuser?

Add White Tea 3 · Pomelo 2 · Lemon 1 · Basil 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 white tea?

Swap white tea for black tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: black tea is steeped, warm and slightly malty.

When is the best time to use due at 5pm sharp?

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.

How it unfolds

On opening. Pomelo (bittersweet and fragrant, very Vietnamese); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
