How do I use candlelight at home in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 3 · Palmarosa 2 · Sweet Orange 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 candlelight at home?

Made for date nights, candlelit dinners and private spaces; switch it on 15 minutes before anyone arrives.

Candlelight at home · Sandalwood, Palmarosa, Sweet Orange blend

Lights off, candles lit, dinner at home. Three drops of sandalwood bring warm, creamy wood, while palmarosa and sweet orange, two drops each, add a sweet, slightly floral lemony grass and fresh orange. This blend is cozy and romantic without being heavy, great for the dinner table or living room. Place the diffuser a little away from the table so the scent doesn't mix with the food.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) 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.
