How do I use mom's signature dish in a diffuser?

Add Bergamot 2 · Lemon 2 · Geranium 1 · Frankincense 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 sweet orange or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use mom's signature dish?

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

Mom's signature dish · Bergamot, Lemon, Geranium blend

Mom is cooking her signature dish in the kitchen, and the whole family is happy. Bergamot and lemon split evenly at two drops each, fresh and bright; a single drop of geranium brings green rose, and one drop of frankincense adds warmth. The dining room and living room after dinner are the best spots. Switch it on after cleaning up so the citrus pushes out lingering food smells, leaving the air clean but still cozy.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
