15-minute break, no skipping

5 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Minty · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0629


A fifteen-minute break is your right; don't skip it. Seven drops of lavender make a soft base, lemon and frankincense add fresh peel and warm resin, and rosemary and peppermint blow in cool green leaf with a light minty edge. Good for a home office or the office pantry corner. Set the diffuser timer for exactly 15 minutes; when it stops, it's time to get back to work.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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.


FAQ

How do I use 15-minute break, no skipping in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 3 · Lemon 2 · Frankincense 2 · Rosemary 1 · Peppermint 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 lavender?
Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use 15-minute break, no skipping?
Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
