long-distance, holding on

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Woody · code BL-1614


A long-distance love, missing each other through a screen. Sandalwood and sweet orange, four drops each, blend warm, creamy wood with fresh orange, and two drops of jasmine add sweetness. The scent is warm and close, like someone is right beside you. This scent suits the bedroom during evening video calls. Try sending them a premixed bottle too, so you're both breathing the same scent in two places.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use long-distance, holding on in a diffuser?
Add Sandalwood 4 · Sweet Orange 4 · Jasmine 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 sandalwood?
Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or patchouli — 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 long-distance, holding on?
Made for date nights, candlelit dinners and private spaces; switch it on 15 minutes before anyone arrives.
