How do I use sea-salt soak in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 4 · Sweet Orange 2 · Lemon 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli for cedarwood or sandalwood — 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 sea-salt soak?

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.

Sea-salt soak · Patchouli, Sweet Orange, Lemon blend

Ten drops of patchouli lay down a damp earthy base like sand after a wave, while sweet orange and lemon add zesty citrus like a cold drink on the beach. The scent is warm and cool at once, full of vacation vibes. Good for the bathroom on days you miss the sea. Patchouli clings quite a bit, so for your first try, use five drops of patchouli and keep the citrus as is.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
