How do I use fresh all day long in a diffuser?

Add Sweet Orange 4 · Lemon 3 · Lime 1 · Peppermint 1 · Eucalyptus 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 bergamot or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: bergamot is light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style.

When is the best time to use fresh all day long?

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

Fresh all day long · Sweet Orange, Lemon, Lime blend

Sweet orange and lemon open a bright bunch of citrus; lime, peppermint and eucalyptus, a drop each, add green peel, cool tingle and airy freshness. Cheerful and clean, good for the living room or office all summer long. Run the diffuser in intervals, once every 30 minutes; for a cooler version, add 1 drop of peppermint.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) 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.
