lunch break power nap

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Minty · Woody · code BL-0758


A breather mid-shift; even five minutes is precious. Eight drops of spearmint open with candy-like sweet coolness, lemongrass adds zesty grassy lemon, ylang-ylang sprinkles in sweet yellow flowers, and cedarwood lines it with dry wood. Good for the rest corner of a home office. This amount is for a big room; a small room uses half; switch on the diffuser between two tasks.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use lunch break power nap in a diffuser?
Add Spearmint 3 · Lemongrass 2 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Cedarwood 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 spearmint?
Swap spearmint for peppermint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: peppermint is cool, sharp and clean.
When is the best time to use lunch break power nap?
Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
