How do I use year-end blues in a diffuser?

Add Lemongrass 2 · Cinnamon 1 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 lemongrass?

Swap lemongrass for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

Year-end blues · Lemongrass, Cinnamon blend

Three drops for those year-end days when your mood dips a little. Lemongrass opens fresh and tangy to lift your spirits, and a single drop of cinnamon underneath adds warm spice, like a familiar hug. Good for the bedroom or desk on quiet winter afternoons. Use a mini diffuser; for bigger rooms keep the 2:1 ratio, and for a happier mood add 1 drop of lemongrass.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) 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.

Method

Diffuser

Lemongrass 2 · Cinnamon 1 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.
