How do I use weekend trekking in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 4 · Rosemary 2 · Lemongrass 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 sandalwood?

Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use weekend trekking?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Weekend trekking · Sandalwood, Rosemary, Lemongrass blend

Six drops of warm, smooth sandalwood like the trunk of an old forest tree, with rosemary and lemongrass at three drops each, green, sharp and fresh like a dewy early-morning trail. Sporty and clean, it suits weekends heading out on a trek with a backpack. Mix the twelve drops in a roller bottle; lemongrass can cause skin irritation, so dilute it well and apply to your wrists, not your face.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
