Longevity
A warm spice-and-citrus blend of clove, thyme, orange, and frankincense — the topical and aromatic counterpart to Young Living's Longevity Vitality dietary oil.
How to use it
A few drops for a warm, spice-forward aroma, ideal in fall and winter.
Dilute to 50% or less — clove and thyme are hot oils; patch-test and avoid the face.
In this blend
A warm clove-thyme-orange-frankincense blend for diffusing or well-diluted topical use.
Longevity combines clove, thyme, orange, and frankincense into a warm, spicy-citrus blend used aromatically and topically. Young Living also sells a Vitality-labeled version of the same blend formulated for internal use per label directions — this non-Vitality bottle is intended for diffusing and skin application only, not ingestion.
The blend, oil by oil
Orange supplies a bright, sweet-citrus top note; thyme contributes warmth and herbaceous depth; clove — one of the more potent “hot oils” in any collection — adds spice and intensity; and frankincense rounds it out with a resinous, grounding base. The combination reads as cozy and warming rather than sharp or bright.
In the diffuser
3–5 drops gives a cozy, spice-forward aroma that works particularly well in fall and winter routines, when a warm, mulled-cider-like scent suits the season.
On skin
Clove and thyme are both hot oils that can irritate skin at low dilutions — clove in particular is one of the more commonly cited skin irritants among essential oils. Dilute to 50% or less in a carrier oil, patch-test first, and avoid sensitive areas like the face and underarms.
What pairs well
Its warm spice-citrus profile pairs naturally with cinnamon bark, ginger, or additional citrus oils for a fuller seasonal blend.
Sourcing note
Because clove and thyme content can vary meaningfully by batch, a quality-controlled source matters for both aroma consistency and skin safety. See our allergy and safety guide for more on hot oils.
