How do I use chilling by the fire in a diffuser?

Add Spearmint 5 · Frankincense 3 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 spearmint?

Swap spearmint for peppermint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: peppermint is cool, sharp and clean.

When is the best time to use chilling by the fire?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Chilling by the fire · Spearmint, Frankincense blend

Sweet, cool spearmint leads, while frankincense brings a warm, slightly smoky resin like embers by the fireplace. Hot and cold intertwined, unusual but addictive. Perfect for chilly evenings sitting by a fireplace or charcoal stove. It's a 30-drop batch; use 4–5 drops at a time in the diffuser, and add more frankincense if you want it warmer.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
