How do I use lo-fi and incense smoke in a diffuser?

Add Cedarwood 2 · Sandalwood 2 · Rosewood 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 cedarwood?

Swap cedarwood for patchouli or cypress — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: patchouli is like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet.

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

Lo-fi and incense smoke · Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Rosewood blend

Lo-fi playing in the background, the room smelling like incense just lit. Cedarwood, sandalwood, and rosewood share two drops each, creating three different layers of wood: dry, creamy, and slightly floral. This blend suits quiet evenings of studying, drawing, or just writing in a notebook. In a room larger than 20 m², raise each oil to three drops.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Rosewood (sweet, floral and woody, soft and rosy) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
