How do I use schoolyard at recess in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 5 · Bergamot 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 lemon?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use schoolyard at recess?

Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.

Schoolyard at recess · Lemon, Bergamot blend

The bell rings and the whole schoolyard rushes out. Ten drops of lemon are fresh, bright and lively, and five drops of bergamot soften things with elegance. Two simple citrus scents that are as joyful as laughter at recess. This premixed bottle suits a classroom, the living room or the office. Use 5 drops at a time, and store the bottle somewhere dark so the lemon doesn't fade quickly.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) 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.
