How do I use minimalist Christmas decor in a diffuser?

Add Myrrh 3 · Sweet Orange 2 · Cedarwood 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 myrrh?

Swap myrrh for frankincense or vanilla — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: frankincense is resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still.

When is the best time to use minimalist Christmas decor?

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

Minimalist Christmas decor · Myrrh, Sweet Orange, Cedarwood blend

No need for a giant tree, just a branch, a few baubles and a scent warm enough. Myrrh leads, deep and resinous, sweet orange adds cheerful freshness, and cedarwood keeps a tidy, dry wood base. Good for minimalist living rooms and small apartments during the holidays. Turn on the diffuser when you switch on the fairy lights; for a happier feel, add 1 drop of sweet orange.

How it unfolds

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

What remains. Myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
