2 hours, zero short videos

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Minty · code BL-1112


Two hours without TikTok, the biggest challenge of the day. Peppermint and rosemary, three drops each, make a pair of icy cool and sharp green, while bergamot and ylang ylang, two drops each, add fresh citrus and sweet florals so it doesn't feel too dry. Great for a study desk or work desk. Leave your phone in another room, at least a few steps away.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot 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 2 hours, zero short videos in a diffuser?
Add Peppermint 3 · Rosemary 3 · Bergamot 2 · Ylang Ylang 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 peppermint?
Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.
When is the best time to use 2 hours, zero short videos?
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.
