How do I use fake calm, real deadline in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 4 · Rosemary 3 · Peppermint 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli for cedarwood or sandalwood — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use fake calm, real deadline?

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.

Fake calm, real deadline · Patchouli, Rosemary, Peppermint blend

Playing it cool with the deadline: calm on the outside, rushing on the inside. Four drops of patchouli lay a deep, damp-earth base, three drops of rosemary add sharp green notes, and two drops of peppermint bring a cool streak. Great for a desk in the afternoon or evening. Patchouli lasts a long time, so about twenty minutes of diffusing is plenty for the room.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
