How do I use mindful lunch break in a diffuser?

Add Cedarwood 2 · Lavender 2 · Sweet Orange 2 · Frankincense 1 · Basil 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 cedarwood?

Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.

When is the best time to use mindful lunch break?

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.

Mindful lunch break · Cedarwood, Lavender, Sweet Orange blend

Lunch break at the office: everyone's slumped over their desks, and you need a little quiet. Cedarwood, lavender, and sweet orange lead with wood, herbs, and fresh orange, frankincense forms the base, and a single drop of basil adds a green, peppery touch. Mix it ahead in a bottle and keep it in your desk drawer; take out just five drops each noon. Great for a small office, diffused for about twenty minutes during your break.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
