How do I use one sniff, wide awake in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 2 · Frankincense 2 · Bergamot 1 · Peppermint 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 eucalyptus?

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

When is the best time to use one sniff, wide awake?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning — diffuse in short 20–30 minute runs.

One sniff, wide awake · Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Bergamot blend

Name: one sniff, wide awake
Yield: 6 drops
Ingredients: 2 drops Eucalyptus essential oil; 2 drops Frankincense essential oil; 1 drop Bergamot essential oil; 1 drop Peppermint essential oil

One breath and you're wide awake. Eucalyptus and frankincense open together, clear and cool but with the depth of warm resin, bergamot sprinkles in a little bright citrus, and peppermint dots a cold note at the end. Great for sluggish after-lunch afternoons, when you need to get back to work. Put 6 drops in the diffuser and run it for about 15 minutes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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