How do I use the “rainy Monday morning” blend in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 3 · Peppermint 3 · Lemon 2 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 does the “rainy Monday morning” blend work best?

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

Rainy Monday morning · Eucalyptus, Peppermint blend

Mondays are hard; a pouring-rain Monday is harder. Eucalyptus leads cool and clear, peppermint boosts that wide-awake feeling, and lemon makes the whole thing a little brighter and happier. Good for your desk at the start of the week or the bedroom before you head out. Run the diffuser for 20 minutes, have a glass of warm water, and start with the easiest task.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) 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.
