Warm, sweet vanilla leads, and cedarwood supports underneath with a clean, dry wood note that makes the scent less sweet and more shapely. Just two oils, yet it feels like sitting in a wooden cabin with moonlight slipping through the window. It suits a warm-toned bedroom on a chilly night. For a more noticeable wood note, flip the ratio to 2 drops of vanilla and 3 drops of cedarwood.
How it unfolds
What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ
- How do I use moonrise, eyelids down in a diffuser?
- Add Vanilla 3 · 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 vanilla?
- Swap vanilla for frankincense or myrrh — 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 moonrise, eyelids down?
- Run the diffuser for 20–30 minutes before bed with the door closed, then switch it off or set a timer when you get into bed.
