How do I use one notch slower in a diffuser?

Add Sweet Orange 3 · Smilax 3 · Patchouli 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 sweet orange?

Swap sweet orange for lemon or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use one notch slower?

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.

One notch slower · Sweet Orange, Smilax, Patchouli blend

Sweet orange melting into warm earthy root, lulling you to slow down.

Slow down a little: sweet orange melts into a warm, earthy base of smilax root, and one drop of patchouli lulls you into a slower pace. Great for the living room in the afternoon, the bedroom or a reading corner. Let the diffuser run, brew some tea and sit still doing nothing at all for fifteen minutes; patchouli lingers, so use just a little.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Smilax (warm, earthy and rooty, lightly sweet and rustic); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
