How do I use watercolor afternoon in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Rose 2 · Geranium 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 lavender?

Swap lavender for ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.

When is the best time to use watercolor afternoon?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Watercolor afternoon · Lavender, Rose, Geranium blend

Brushes, paper, and a cup of paint water swirling with color. Lavender leads with purple herbs, and rose and geranium come in equal measure, silky, sweet petals meeting fresh green rose. The floral scent is as light as a watercolor painting, perfect for a drawing desk or a creative corner. Place the diffuser away from your paper so the mist doesn't dampen it.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); rose (deep, silky and luxurious); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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.
