seasoned and still spicy

4 oils · Herbal · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1855


Cedarwood and ginger grass split evenly at thirty drops each: steady dry wood meets a warm, lightly spicy grass, then frankincense and myrrh pull everything down to deep resin and roots. A scent with age and experience, like the Vietnamese saying that ginger gets spicier as it gets older. Mix the 90-drop batch in a large bottle and rest it a week; use 4–5 drops per session in your office diffuser.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ginger grass (warm and grassy, slightly spicy with a sweet root note) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use seasoned and still spicy in a diffuser?
Add Cedarwood 3 · Ginger Grass 3 · Frankincense 2 · Myrrh 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 cedarwood?
Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.
When is the best time to use seasoned and still spicy?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
