How do I use Lunar New Year morning in a diffuser?

Add Black Tea 3 · Mandarin 2 · Pink Pepper 1 · Neroli 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 black tea?

Swap black tea for white tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: white tea is light and clean with a floral whisper.

When is the best time to use Lunar New Year morning?

Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); pink pepper (lightly spicy, sparkling and berry-like) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
