How do I use library-level focus mode in a diffuser?

Add Black Tea 2 · Lime 2 · Basil 1 · Sandalwood 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 black tea?

Swap black tea for white tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: white tea is light and clean with a floral whisper.

When is the best time to use library-level focus mode?

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.

Library-level focus mode · Black Tea, Lime, Basil blend

Black tea, sharp green lime, spicy-cool basil, sandalwood keeping the rhythm.

Sharp green lime and black tea open the scene, spicy-cool basil sets an alert rhythm, and sandalwood below keeps the scent steady and composed. Great for a study corner or any desk that needs to feel as quiet as a library. Run the diffuser on low, put on noise-canceling headphones and work within a fixed time slot.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
