Earl Grey with pink pepper and cypress leaves; alert but never sharp.

Reading ten pages straight without picking up your phone: black tea and bergamot like a cup of Earl Grey, pink pepper adding a bit of sparkle, and cypress bringing fresh green leaves, alert but never sharp. Great for a reading corner or a study desk at night. Let the diffuser run when you open your book, leave your phone in another room and count your pages.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); pink pepper (lightly spicy, sparkling and berry-like) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) form the body of the scent and stay 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

Photosensitizing

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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 ten pages, no phone in a diffuser?
Add Black Tea 3 · Bergamot 2 · Pink Pepper 1 · Cypress 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 ten pages, no phone?
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.
