How do I use moody like an indie playlist in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 3 · Vanilla 3 · Frankincense 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli for cedarwood or sandalwood — 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 moody like an indie playlist?

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

Moody like an indie playlist · Patchouli, Vanilla, Frankincense blend

Patchouli, vanilla and frankincense in equal parts: damp earth, creamy sweetness and deep resin. A deep, slightly dreamy scent, like an indie track on repeat at midnight. Good for the bedroom or a creative work corner on cold-season evenings. Mix a bottle ahead and take 4 drops for the diffuser each time; for a lighter version, reduce the patchouli in the bottle to 6 drops.

How it unfolds

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
