This small recipe fits a mini diffuser on your desk perfectly. If your room has no window, this is your temporary one.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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.
