How do I use fresh paint, fresh air in a diffuser?

Add Cypress 3 · Tea Tree 2 · Eucalyptus 2 · Lemon 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 cypress?

Swap cypress 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 fresh paint, fresh air?

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.

Fresh paint, fresh air · Cypress, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus blend

The new paint job is done, but the smell is still hanging around. Cypress opens with fresh green wood, tea tree and eucalyptus make the air smell clean, and a drop of lemon adds brightness. Run it in a freshly painted room after it has been aired out for a few days. Essential oils can't replace ventilation, so keep the windows open while the diffuser runs.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
