How do I use a little old-world in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 5 · Sandalwood 2 · Myrrh 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli for cedarwood or cypress — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use a little old-world?

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

A little old-world · Patchouli, Sandalwood, Myrrh blend

A little old-fashioned, like an old house with wooden cabinets and chests of books. Five drops of patchouli open with damp earth and moss, while sandalwood and myrrh, two drops each, add creamy wood and dry, deep wood. Great for a reading room, a home office with wooden furniture, or a small cafe. Patchouli lasts a very long time, so about twenty minutes of diffusing is enough.

How it unfolds

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
