How do I use staycation mode in a diffuser?

Add Fennel 4 · Lemon 2 · Eucalyptus 1 · Sweet Orange 1 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 fennel?

Swap fennel for rosemary or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use staycation mode?

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.

Staycation mode · Fennel, Lemon, Eucalyptus blend

Eight drops of fennel lead with sweet anise like licorice candy, lemon and sweet orange jump in with zesty citrus peel, and eucalyptus opens up some cool, airy space. Unusual yet refreshing, it suits a long afternoon at your home office. Let the diffuser run on and off from two to five in the afternoon. If you're not into anise, cut fennel down to five drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Fennel (sweet and herbal with a little anise) 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.
