How do I use overdid it, clocking out in a diffuser?

Add Cinnamon 2 · Geranium 2 · Juniper 2 · Lavender 2 · 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.

Swap cinnamon for coriander or pink pepper — same warm spice family. The blend will shift a little: coriander is warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice.

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.

Overdid it, clocking out · Cinnamon, Geranium, Juniper blend

Pushed too hard; time to rest. Cinnamon leads spicy, sweet and warm, while geranium, juniper and lavender share the middle with green rose, conifer needles and purple herb, and peppermint blows in a little cool air. The scent is layered, warm yet airy, good for the living room in cold weather. Cinnamon is very strong, so a small diffuser takes just 1 drop of cinnamon and 1 drop of each of the rest.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
