How do I use a thousand and one nights in a diffuser?

Add Coriander 2 · Frankincense 2 · Lime 2 · Rose 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 coriander?

Swap coriander for cinnamon or pink pepper — same warm spice family. The blend will shift a little: cinnamon is spicy-sweet, hot and warm.

When is the best time to use a thousand and one nights?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

A thousand and one nights · Coriander, Frankincense, Lime blend

Coriander seed and frankincense balance at eighteen drops each, sweet-spicy and smoky resin like a spice market under lanterns, lime adds a fresh tartness, and twelve drops of rose make the scent soft and mysterious. A far-off journey in a small bottle. Mix the 60-drop batch in a bottle and let it rest a week; wear it as an evening perfume in a roller bottle.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice); rose (deep, silky and luxurious) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
