How do I use rooftop golden hour in a diffuser?

Add Bergamot 2 · Frankincense 2 · 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 bergamot?

Swap bergamot for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use rooftop golden hour?

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

Rooftop golden hour · Bergamot, Frankincense, Lime blend

Three oils in equal parts, each with its own role: bergamot is classy and bright, lime is crisp and tart, and frankincense holds a warm resin-wood base like the last rays of the day. Great for a rooftop, a balcony or a living room with glass doors overlooking the city. Switch it on at five in the afternoon, as things cool down, so the woody notes settle before the streetlights come on.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) 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.
