How do I use pitching the tent in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 3 · Peppermint 3 · Lemon Eucalyptus 3 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 pitching the tent?

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.

Pitching the tent · Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lemon Eucalyptus blend

Three cooling leaves in equal drops: airy, clean eucalyptus, clear, tingly peppermint and lemon eucalyptus with its crisp, cool lemony-grassy edge. It instantly brings to mind mist and trees by a stream, perfect for an overnight camping trip. Put a few drops on tent ropes, the mesh door and your scarf; do not use it too close to the stream, so the water stays clean for everyone.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
