studying by the window

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2553


Four oils in equal parts keep it balanced: sweet floral ylang-ylang, cool eucalyptus, fresh lemongrass and green-clean tea tree. Awake enough for studying, with a soft touch so the desk by the window feels less dry. Place a mini diffuser about a meter from your desk and run it 30 minutes at a time; if ylang-ylang makes you a bit drowsy, cut it by 2–3 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

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 studying by the window in a diffuser?
Add Ylang Ylang 2 · Eucalyptus 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Tea Tree 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 ylang ylang?
Swap ylang ylang for lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.
When is the best time to use studying by the window?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
