How do I use 2 hours of deep work in a diffuser?

Add Frankincense 5 · Sweet Orange 3 · Thyme 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 frankincense?

Swap frankincense for vanilla or myrrh — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: vanilla is creamy, sweet and cozy.

When is the best time to use 2 hours of deep work?

Run it at your desk or study corner in cycles of 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so your nose does not tune the scent out.

2 hours of deep work · Frankincense, Sweet Orange, Thyme blend

Two hours of deep work: no phone, no social media tabs. Five drops of frankincense lay a warm, clear resin base, three drops of sweet orange add cheerful freshness, and two drops of thyme bring a spicy herbal note to keep your mind sharp. Great for a private home office. Start the diffuser the moment you start your timer, as a signal that it's time to focus.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) 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

Skin irritant

Thyme 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.
