How do I use Monday boss mode in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 5 · Lemongrass 5 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 geranium?

Swap geranium for lavender or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use Monday boss mode?

Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.

Monday boss mode · Geranium, Lemongrass blend

Geranium and lemongrass split it evenly at five drops each, a pairing that sounds odd but feels very classy. Geranium opens with a green rose note with a hint of leaf, lemongrass cuts across with a streak of fresh lemony grass, and the overall scent is neat, confident and a little bit powerful. Great for a private office, a reception desk or your remote-work corner. If you prefer a more masculine scent, cut the geranium to 3 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises 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. 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.

Method

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.
