How do I use early winter daydream in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 3 · Frankincense 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli 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 early winter daydream?

Made for chilly days, cold rain, Tet (the Lunar New Year) and Christmas; use it in the living room or bedroom.

Early winter daydream · Patchouli, Frankincense blend

Five drops, two deep notes: patchouli, damp and slightly sweet earth, and frankincense, warm resin with a hint of smoke. A contemplative scent for early-winter afternoons spent watching the rain. Good for the bedroom, a meditation corner or a reading room. Run a mini diffuser for 20 minutes; for an airier version, switch the ratio to 2 patchouli and 3 frankincense.

How it unfolds

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
