How do I use off the grid for an afternoon in a diffuser?

Add Rosemary 2 · Lavender 2 · Cedarwood 2 · Bergamot 2 · Sweet Orange 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 rosemary?

Swap rosemary for eucalyptus or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: eucalyptus is strong, cool and wide open.

When is the best time to use off the grid for an afternoon?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Off the grid for an afternoon · Rosemary, Lavender, Cedarwood blend

Wifi off, phone off, an afternoon living off the grid. Rosemary leads, green and sharp; lavender, cedarwood and bergamot come in equal measure with purple herbs, dry wood and fresh citrus, and sweet orange adds juicy sweetness. The scent is fresh and natural, like a wooden cabin in the mountains, perfect for the living room or a balcony. It's a bottle-mixing ratio; use 5 drops of the mix each time.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) 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. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
