Add Clary Sage 3 · Cedarwood 3 · Thyme 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.

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Moody, not gloomy · Clary Sage, Cedarwood, Thyme blend

Quiet and deep doesn't mean sad. Clary sage and cedarwood split five drops each, one sweet and slightly musky herb, the other warm dry wood, building a composed base; thyme adds a bit of dry-leaf spice, like seasoning sprinkled on a finished dish. Great for rainy afternoons by the window with some soft jazz. Keep it as is for warmth; for something brighter, use one less drop of thyme.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) 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.
