How do I use first day at work in a diffuser?

Add Sweet Orange 4 · Cedarwood 2 · Peppermint 1 · Rosemary 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 sweet orange?

Swap sweet orange for lemon or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use first day at work?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

First day at work · Sweet Orange, Cedarwood, Peppermint blend

Twenty drops of sweet orange, cheerful like first-day spirit, ten drops of steady cedarwood, and peppermint and rosemary to help your mind feel sharper. A confident, energetic scent, ready to meet new coworkers: smile, remember names, and find the coffee machine early. Premix the 40-drop batch; if using a roller bottle, dilute it well because of the peppermint.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
