How do I use 90-minute deep work in a diffuser?

Add Smilax 3 · Rosemary 2 · Lime 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 smilax?

Swap smilax for cedarwood or sandalwood — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use 90-minute 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.

Sharp lime and rosemary, warm root keeping distractions away.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Smilax (warm, earthy and rooty, lightly sweet and rustic) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
