How do I use mid-afternoon droopy eyes in a diffuser?

Add Bergamot 3 · Frankincense 2 · Peppermint 2 · Sandalwood 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 bergamot?

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

Mid-afternoon droopy eyes · Bergamot, Frankincense, Peppermint blend

Three in the afternoon: your eyes are drooping and the screen is getting blurry. Three drops of bergamot open with fresh citrus, two drops of peppermint add a wake-up chill, two drops of frankincense lay a warm base, and a single drop of sandalwood holds a smooth wood finish. Great for the office at its sleepiest hour. Get up and grab a glass of water; by the time you're back, the scent has filled your desk.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
