How do I use sweet and mellow siesta in a diffuser?

Add Spearmint 3 · Lavender 3 · Jasmine 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.

When is the best time to use sweet and mellow siesta?

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.

Sweet and mellow siesta · Spearmint, Lavender, Jasmine blend

Spearmint opens cool and sweet, lavender follows gently, and jasmine lays a soft layer of white flowers on top. Not harsh at all, very mellow, great for a nap room, a nursery or a reading corner in the afternoon. The ratio is large, so pre-mix a bottle; use 4 drops each time and set the diffuser to intermittent mode during your nap.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
