How do I use grown-up balance in a diffuser?

Add Clary Sage 4 · Ylang Ylang 3 · Cedarwood 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 clary sage?

Swap clary sage for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use grown-up balance?

Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.

Grown-up balance · Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood blend

Balance, grown-up style: the work still gets done, but evenings belong to you. Four drops of clary sage open with sweet, slightly musky herb, ylang-ylang adds silky yellow flowers, and cedarwood lines it with sturdy dry wood. Good for the living room in the evening, when you pour a cup of tea and sit still. If you like it lighter, cut ylang-ylang to two drops and keep the other two as they are.

How it unfolds

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

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
