Add Frankincense 2 · Cedarwood 2 · Sandalwood 1 · Patchouli 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.

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

Made for chilly days, cold rain, Tet (the Lunar New Year) and Christmas; use it in the living room or bedroom.

Around the wood stove · Frankincense, Cedarwood, Sandalwood blend

Frankincense and cedarwood split it evenly, resin meeting dry wood, like wood-stove smoke curling under the roof; sandalwood and patchouli, a drop each, bring smooth warmth and damp earth. The rustic scent of a countryside kitchen in winter. Good for the living room or dining room on cold evenings. Right after dinner is best; for more depth, add 1 drop of frankincense.

How it unfolds

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
