How do I use mad for a minute, then done in a diffuser?

Add Bergamot 3 · Patchouli 2 · Sweet Orange 2 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 bergamot?

Swap bergamot for lemon or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use mad for a minute, then done?

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.

Mad for a minute, then done · Bergamot, Patchouli, Sweet Orange blend

You can hold it in, but only up to a point. Three drops of bergamot open with bright, slightly tea-like peel, sweet orange adds fresh sweetness, and two drops of patchouli line it with warm, damp earth, giving the scent depth. Good for evenings when you need to unload some pent-up feelings. Write down what's bothering you while the diffuser runs, then fold the paper away.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
