ao dai for Tet morning

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-1839


Sandalwood leads, smooth and graceful like a silk ao dai, the Vietnamese long dress; patchouli and sweet orange add the warmth and cheer of the first morning of Tet, the Lunar New Year, and two drops of jasmine are the accent. Perfect for Tet visits and ao dai photos. Mix 22 drops into a roller bottle; apply to your wrists before heading out, and avoid putting it directly on silk.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.


Method

Diffuser

FAQ

How do I use ao dai for Tet morning in a diffuser?
Add Sandalwood 4 · Patchouli 1 · Sweet Orange 1 · Jasmine 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 sandalwood?
Swap sandalwood 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 ao dai for Tet morning?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
