How do I use candle lit, sitting still in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 5 · Vanilla 3 · Frankincense 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 candle lit, sitting still?

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

Candle lit, sitting still · Sandalwood, Vanilla, Frankincense blend

Fresh out of the shower, body warm, hair still damp, meditating for a bit before bed. Five drops of sandalwood lay a smooth, creamy wood base, three drops of vanilla spread a warm sweetness like fresh-baked cake, and frankincense closes with clear resin. Lovely for the bedroom at night or right in the still-steamy bathroom. If it feels too sweet, reduce vanilla to two drops.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
