How do I use top of the mountain pass in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 4 · Spearmint 2 · Cypress 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 eucalyptus?

Swap eucalyptus 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 top of the mountain pass?

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.

Standing at the top of a mountain pass, the wind blowing cool, the sky wide open. Eucalyptus brings a clear, cool rush like mountain wind, spearmint adds a sweet chill, and cypress leaves a green-wood note like the forest along the road.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) 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.
