How do I use retreat, no time off needed in a diffuser?

Add Frankincense 2 · Cedarwood 1 · Juniper 1 · Sandalwood 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 frankincense?

Swap frankincense for vanilla or myrrh — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: vanilla is creamy, sweet and cozy.

When is the best time to use retreat, no time off needed?

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.

Retreat, no time off needed · Frankincense, Cedarwood, Juniper blend

A retreat with no vacation request needed, just a few drops of essential oil in the diffuser. Two drops of frankincense open with warm, clear resin, while cedarwood, juniper, and sandalwood, one drop each, bring dry wood, a green resinous streak, and creamy wood. Lovely for a small room of about 10 m² on the weekend. Tip: turn off your phone, open the window, and lie back listening to the sounds outside.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
