How do I use quietly expensive in a diffuser?

Add White Tea 3 · Bergamot 2 · Jasmine 1 · Cedarwood 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 white tea?

Swap white tea for black tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: black tea is steeped, warm and slightly malty.

When is the best time to use quietly expensive?

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

Quietly expensive · White Tea, Bergamot, Jasmine blend

Bright bergamot, white jasmine, dry cedarwood; quietly elegant.

The kind of luxury that doesn't need to speak up: bright, elegant bergamot, delicate white jasmine and dry cedarwood, all on a white tea base. Great for the home office, a studio or the closet. Besides the diffuser, you can put 1–2 drops on a wooden scent block in your closet so your clothes carry a subtle signature scent.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper); jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
