How do I use zen with a straight face in a diffuser?

Add Bergamot 5 · Cedarwood 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.

What can I use instead of bergamot?

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

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.

Zen with a straight face · Bergamot, Cedarwood blend

Deadpan calm: a blank expression, a light heart. Eight drops of bergamot open fresh and slightly bitter, like grapefruit peel, then six drops of cedarwood settle into dry wood like a box of new pencils. A clean, tidy blend for a minimalist workspace or a morning meditation corner. In a room over 20 m², keep the recipe as is; in a small room, half the amount is plenty.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

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.
