How do I use deadline at the door in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 4 · Frankincense 3 · 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 sandalwood?

Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or patchouli — 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 deadline at the door?

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.

Deadline at the door · Sandalwood, Frankincense, Lime blend

The deadline is closing in, and you need something steady to lean on. Eight drops of sandalwood lay a warm, creamy wood base, six drops of frankincense add clear resin, and four drops of lime cut through with a green, wake-up tang. These eighteen drops last three to four sessions, so mix them ahead for convenience. Great for a home office at night, when you need to sit tight without tensing up.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
