How do I use salty but mellow in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 4 · Juniper 3 · Basil 2 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 salty but mellow?

Use it at midday, in hot rooms, or after coming in from outside; you can also mix a room spray for a quick cool-down.

Salty but mellow · Sandalwood, Juniper, Basil blend

Not the rush-of-cold kind: sandalwood leads with a smooth, creamy wood base, juniper brings a slightly sharp needle-leaf note like a salty sea breeze, and basil adds a light green spice. This scent suits the living room on summer evenings, when you want the space cool but with some depth. If you need it fresher, add one drop of lime; for a deeper mood, keep it as is.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

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