How do I use whatever, it's small stuff in a diffuser?

Add Thyme 3 · Clary Sage 3 · Ylang Ylang 3 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.

Swap thyme for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.

Whatever, it's small stuff · Thyme, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang blend

Whatever, it's small stuff. Thyme, clary sage and ylang-ylang split thirty drops each: warm dry-leaf spice, sweet, slightly musky herb and silky sweet yellow flowers. It's a very big batch, 5 drops per use. Good for the living room in the evening. Thyme is fairly strong, so for your first try, use just 3 drops of the mix.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.

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