How do I use month-three burnout in a diffuser?

Add Basil 3 · Cypress 3 · Neroli 3 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 basil?

Swap basil for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use month-three burnout?

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

Month-three burnout · Basil, Cypress, Neroli blend

The third straight month of overtime, and your energy is running low. Basil, cypress and neroli split five drops each: sweet, spicy green leaf, cool conifer needles and bright white flowers blend together, alert yet gentle. Good for evenings when you need to disconnect from work. Turn on the diffuser, mute your notifications, and give yourself at least half an hour.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
