How do I use mountain air, a bit aloof in a diffuser?

Add Cedarwood 3 · Lime 2 · Peppermint 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 cedarwood?

Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.

When is the best time to use mountain air, a bit aloof?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning — diffuse in short 20–30 minute runs.

Mountain air, a bit aloof · Cedarwood, Lime, Peppermint blend

A little cool, a little classy. Cedarwood lays an elegant dry-wood base, lime adds a slightly bitter citrus peel, and peppermint dusts a layer of cool snow on top. Great for a minimalist office, the bedroom or a reading nook in winter. Want this aloof prince a bit warmer? Swap 1 drop of peppermint for 1 drop of cedarwood so the wood feels cozier.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
