Add Frankincense 3 · Sandalwood 2 · Clary Sage 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.

Swap frankincense for vanilla or myrrh — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: vanilla is creamy, sweet and cozy.

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.

10 minutes of sitting still · Frankincense, Sandalwood, Clary Sage blend

Ten minutes of sitting still sounds short but is surprisingly hard, especially when your mind keeps running through tasks. Frankincense gives a clear resin note, sandalwood lays a wood base smooth as cream, and clary sage adds warm herbs, so the room feels truly still. Nice to diffuse before a short meditation or during a break. Tip: set the diffuser timer to exactly ten minutes; when it stops, open your eyes.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
