chopping wood for the campfire

4 oils · Minty · Woody · code BL-1828


Juniper and peppermint open cold and sharp like pine forest air at dawn, then cypress and pine follow with the resinous scent of freshly split wood. Wild, strong and full of energy. Great for a workspace or car. The 30-drop batch is quite sharp; use 3–4 drops at a time and reduce the peppermint if your nose is sensitive.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood); pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

FAQ

How do I use chopping wood for the campfire in a diffuser?
Add Juniper 3 · Peppermint 3 · Cypress 1 · Pine 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 juniper?
Swap juniper for cedarwood or sandalwood — 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 chopping wood for the campfire?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
