How do I use expecting nothing at all in a diffuser?

Add Frankincense 2 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Clary Sage 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 frankincense?

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

When is the best time to use expecting nothing at all?

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.

Expecting nothing at all · Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, Clary Sage blend

No expectations, just sitting there breathing. Frankincense and ylang ylang, two drops each, create a warm resin layer draped in sweet florals, while one drop of clary sage adds a dried-tea herbal note at the end. Made for a small room on an afternoon with no appointments. If ylang ylang feels a bit strong for you, reduce it to one drop and add one drop of frankincense.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

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