How do I use post-run cooldown in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 3 · Peppermint 3 · Cypress 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 geranium?

Swap geranium for lavender or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use post-run cooldown?

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

Post-run cooldown · Geranium, Peppermint, Cypress blend

Geranium, peppermint and cypress in equal parts: green rose, cool tingle and needles. Fresh and cool, good for your stretching corner or changing room after a morning run. Mix a bottle ahead and take 4 drops for the diffuser as you start stretching; for a gentler version, reduce the peppermint in the bottle to 6 drops.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) 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.
