How do I use simple and cheerful in a diffuser?

Add Clary Sage 2 · 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 clary sage?

Swap clary sage for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use simple and cheerful?

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.

Simple and cheerful · Clary Sage, Lemon blend

Simple: two drops of clary sage, two drops of lemon, and surprisingly cheerful. Lemon opens with crisp, bright fresh peel, and clary sage follows with sweet, slightly musky herb that keeps the tartness from getting sharp. A minimalist pair with real charm, good for a small desk or the bathroom. For something fresher, add one drop of lemon; for something smoother, add one drop of clary sage.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
