walking encyclopedia

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-1029


To become a walking encyclopedia, you need to be able to sit for a long time. Cedarwood and lavender, four drops each, create a dry, gentle wood base steady enough to keep you from fidgeting, while two drops of thyme add a warm, spicy herbal note to keep your head clear. Great for a study desk, a small home library, or long reading sessions. If you tend to get sleepy while studying, swap one drop of lavender for one drop of rosemary.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) 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) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

Thyme 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 walking encyclopedia in a diffuser?
Add Cedarwood 4 · Lavender 4 · Thyme 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 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 walking encyclopedia?
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.
