How do I use sunshine on a rainy day in a diffuser?

Add Sweet Orange 6 · Lemon 3 · Cedarwood 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 sweet orange?

Swap sweet orange for bergamot or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: bergamot is light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style.

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Sunshine on a rainy day · Sweet Orange, Lemon, Cedarwood blend

The house feels sunlit, even though it's raining. Sweet orange leads, fresh and cheerful, lemon brightens, and a single drop of cedarwood lays a warm, dry wood base. A living room on a rainy day or a north-facing apartment short on sun will perk right up. Turn on the diffuser with a warm lamp; for an even brighter scent, add 1 drop of lemon.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
