How do I use surprisingly wide open in a diffuser?

Add Lemon Leaf 3 · Peppermint 2 · 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 lemon leaf?

Swap lemon leaf for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use surprisingly wide open?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning — diffuse in short 20–30 minute runs.

Great for a bedroom with the AC on, a closed-up office or the car on a long drive. Use 3–4 drops and run it for about 15 minutes; for small children, reduce peppermint and eucalyptus to one drop each.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) 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.
