smooth-running brain

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1163


A mind running smoothly, every idea clear and in order. Three drops of sweet orange open fresh and cheerful, frankincense and clary sage, two drops each, lay a base of warm resin and sweet herbs, and a single drop of ylang ylang adds a light, sweet floral note. Great for a desk in the afternoon, when you need to keep a steady pace. If you need to be sharper, add a drop of rosemary.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

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

FAQ

How do I use smooth-running brain in a diffuser?
Add Sweet Orange 3 · Frankincense 2 · Clary Sage 2 · Ylang Ylang 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 sweet orange?
Swap sweet orange for lemon or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use smooth-running brain?
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.
