How do I use mountain-village calm in a diffuser?

Add Po Mu 3 · Bergamot 2 · Mandarin 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 Po Mu?

Swap Po Mu 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 mountain-village calm?

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.

Mountain-village calm · Po Mu, Bergamot, Mandarin blend

Sweet resinous wood, bright citrus, like sitting on a wooden porch.

Northwest Vietnam style calm starts with sweet, resinous, warm po mu wood, then bergamot and mandarin brighten things up, like sitting on the porch of a wooden stilt house watching the clouds drift by. Great for the living room, a wood-toned bedroom or a reading corner in the afternoon. Add 5 drops to the diffuser, brew a hot pot of tea and play some instrumental music; for more freshness, add one drop of mandarin.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Po Mu (sweet, resinous and slightly spicy, a very grounded Vietnamese wood) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
