How do I use post-shower starfish mode in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 4 · Peppermint 2 · Rosemary 2 · Tea Tree 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 sandalwood?

Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or patchouli — 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 post-shower starfish mode?

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.

Post-shower starfish mode · Sandalwood, Peppermint, Rosemary blend

Fresh from the shower, hair still wet, sprawled out and not wanting to do a thing. Eight drops of sandalwood lay down a warm, creamy wood base, peppermint and rosemary blow in a cool green stream, and tea tree adds a clean, sharp streak. The scent is cool yet smooth, good for the bedroom on sticky summer nights. If you plan to fall asleep right after, cut peppermint to two drops to soften it.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
