How do I use sunburnt from the beach in a diffuser?

Add Spearmint 3 · Lavender 3 · Eucalyptus 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 spearmint?

Swap spearmint for peppermint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: peppermint is cool, sharp and clean.

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

Sunburnt from the beach · Spearmint, Lavender, Eucalyptus blend

Home from the beach, skin still hot: spearmint opens sweet and cool, gentle lavender softens things, and eucalyptus adds some airiness. The scent feels calming, great for a bedroom at night or the bathroom after a trip. It is a bottle recipe, 4–5 drops each time; switch it on while you take a cool shower and change into cotton clothes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
