How do I use a little dose of youth in a diffuser?

Add Black Tea 3 · Sweet Orange 2 · Vanilla 1 · Star Anise 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 a little dose of youth?

Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.

A little dose of youth · Black Tea, Sweet Orange, Vanilla blend

Orange-vanilla tea with sweet anise, like childhood milk tea candy.

A gentle throwback, like the milk tea candies from childhood: warm black tea, cheerful sweet orange, soft vanilla and sweetish star anise. Great for the living room on weekend afternoons, a baking corner or family get-togethers. Star anise is strong, so keep it to one drop; if you are not used to it, replace it with an extra drop of sweet orange.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); star anise (sweet and warm, reminiscent of pho broth and Tet sweets) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
