How do I use crush from the next class over in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 5 · Patchouli 2 · Ylang Ylang 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 sandalwood?

Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or cypress — 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 crush from the next class over?

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

Crush from the next class over · Sandalwood, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang blend

Name: crush from the next class over
Yield: 35 drops
Ingredients: 20 drops Sandalwood essential oil; 10 drops Patchouli essential oil; 5 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil

Sandalwood carries nearly the whole recipe, warm, smooth and discreet like a well-hidden crush, patchouli adds a deep earthy layer, and ylang ylang only peeks out with a little sweetness. Not loud, but long-lasting. Great for an evening study corner or a small bedroom. Premix the 35 drops in a dark bottle; 4–5 drops each time is enough for a mini diffuser.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
