3 oils · Citrus · Resinous & sweet · Warm spice · code BL-1298


Frankincense and pink pepper make up most of the recipe, creating a warm resin scent with a fresh, spicy kick that's unusual and addictive. Four drops of lemon open things up so the blend feels less deep and keeps you alert. Great for long days in a studio or a craft workshop, where you need focus but don't want anything too icy. This is a bottle ratio; use 5 drops per diffuser session.

How it unfolds

On opening. Pink pepper (lightly spicy, sparkling and berry-like); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lemon 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 drain the battery, then rest in a diffuser?
Add Frankincense 4 · Pink Pepper 3 · Lemon 1 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.

Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.
