iced black, no sugar

2 oils · Minty · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1316


Like someone calling your name in the middle of class. Five drops of peppermint wake you up instantly with an icy chill, and four drops of coffee follow with a deep, slightly bitter roasted-bean note, like walking into a cafe right as it opens. An early-morning desk or a study corner is where the diffuser belongs. For a stronger coffee note, flip the ratio: 5 coffee, 3 peppermint.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Coffee (dark-roasted and warm) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use iced black, no sugar in a diffuser?
Add Peppermint 5 · Coffee 4 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 peppermint?
Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.
When is the best time to use iced black, no sugar?
Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.
