3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0746


Determined to stay calm, whatever happens. Ten drops of lavender are a soft mattress, five drops of mandarin drop juicy segments on top, and five drops of frankincense gently press it all down with deep resin so the scent doesn't fly off. Good for the living room or a desk on high-pressure days. A small room uses half; switch on the diffuser before you open the hardest task.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rises 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.

FAQ

How do I use breathe first, then decide in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 4 · Mandarin 2 · Frankincense 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 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 breathe first, then decide?
Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
