How do I use packed for the work trip in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Frankincense 2 · Bergamot 2 · Tea Tree 1 · Lemon 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 lavender?

Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.

When is the best time to use packed for the work trip?

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.

Packed for the work trip · Lavender, Frankincense, Bergamot blend

On a work trip, sleeping in an unfamiliar hotel, a familiar scent is reassuring. Lavender leads softly, frankincense and bergamot balance warm and bright, and tea tree with lemon add a clean accent. Mix it into a roll-on with carrier oil to apply on your wrists, or put a few drops on the hotel pillow. Compact and light, it takes up no room in your suitcase.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) 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. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
