campfire with the besties

3 oils · Citrus · Woody · code BL-1818


Sandalwood is warm like a campfire, cypress brings the scent of dewy conifer needles, and bergamot adds a bit of brightness like a glass of orange juice outside the tent in the morning. Great for the living room on weekend nights with close friends. Ten drops suits a 20 m² room; for a clearer forest scent, raise cypress to five drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.


Method

Diffuser
Sandalwood 5 · Cypress 3 · Bergamot 2 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.
10 ml roller
Sandalwood 2 · Cypress 2 · Bergamot 1 drops, then top up with a carrier oil (jojoba or sweet almond). Dab on wrists and the back of the neck.
50 ml room spray
Sandalwood 15 · Cypress 9 · Bergamot 6 drops + 1 teaspoon of food-grade alcohol, then top up with distilled water. Shake before spraying.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use campfire with the besties in a diffuser?
Add Sandalwood 5 · Cypress 3 · Bergamot 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 sandalwood?
Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or patchouli — 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 campfire with the besties?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
