How do I use reading by the window in a diffuser?

Add Neroli 3 · Lavender 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 neroli?

Swap neroli 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 reading by the window?

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.

Reading by the window · Neroli, Lavender, Cypress blend

Reading by the window, sunlight filtering through the curtains. Neroli, lavender and cypress split eight drops each: fresh white flowers, soft purple blooms and cool green needles blending very gracefully. Good for a reading nook, a beanbag chair, a quiet afternoon. This batch lasts a few sessions, 5 drops of the mix each time; switch it on as you turn the first page.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); 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.
