How do I use candlelight and a book in a diffuser?

Add Frankincense 3 · Sandalwood 2 · Lavender 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 frankincense?

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

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

Candlelight and a book · Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lavender blend

Candles lit, a book open, the room glowing warm and golden. Three drops of frankincense open with warm, clear resin, two drops of sandalwood add creamy wood, and a single drop of lavender softens the whole blend. Perfect for reading before bed when the candle is the only light. Tip: keep the diffuser well away from the flame, keep the room ventilated, and read a whole chapter in one go.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

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