How do I use mom's checking my rental in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 4 · Lemon 3 · Lavender 2 · Rosemary 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When is the best time to use mom's checking my rental?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Mom's checking my rental · Peppermint, Lemon, Lavender blend

Mom's coming to see your rental, and you can't give her anything to worry about. Peppermint leads clear and cool, lemon is bright and fresh, lavender gentle, and a single drop of rosemary closes it out. Tidy the desk, wash the sheets, then run the diffuser 30 minutes ahead. The recipe suits a rental room under 20m²; if mom smells something nice, she'll feel reassured.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
