How do I use nervous before the date in a diffuser?

Add Cedarwood 2 · Star Anise 1 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 nervous before the date?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Nervous before the date · Cedarwood, Star Anise blend

Two drops of dry, steady cedarwood, then one drop of sweet-spicy star anise slips in like a heartbeat skipping a little faster. A small recipe with personality, capturing that nervous-excited feeling. Great in a mini roller bottle to carry when you're about to go on a date. Star anise is quite strong, so keep it at exactly one drop; for a calmer, deeper scent, raise cedarwood to three.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Star anise (sweet and warm, reminiscent of pho broth and Tet sweets) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
