How do I use no alarm needed in a diffuser?

Add Coffee 3 · Lemon 2 · Spearmint 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 coffee?

Swap coffee for frankincense or vanilla — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: frankincense is resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still.

When is the best time to use no alarm needed?

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

No alarm needed · Coffee, Lemon, Spearmint blend

No alarm needed; the smell of coffee wakes you up. Three drops of coffee open with a warm roasted note, two drops of lemon add a bright, fresh tang, and a single drop of spearmint leaves a sweet coolness. Great for a bedroom or kitchen in the morning. Set the diffuser timer to start ten minutes before you wake up, and when you open your eyes it'll feel like your favorite cafe.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Coffee (dark-roasted and warm) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
