Add Frankincense 4 · Sandalwood 4 · Patchouli 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 frankincense?

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

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

Candles lit, waiting up · Frankincense, Sandalwood, Patchouli blend

Frankincense and sandalwood in equal parts create a warm, deep scent like a freshly lit candle, while patchouli adds depth, making the waiting feel pleasant. Perfect for the living room late at night, the table set while you wait for your person to come home. Start the diffuser about 15 minutes before they're due; warm yellow light pairs best with this scent.
