Settle down a smidge · Frankincense, Sandalwood, Cedarwood blend

You only need to settle down a little, not for a whole hour. Frankincense and sandalwood lead with resin and warm wood, cedarwood adds a dry wood base, and one drop of lavender makes the scent noticeably softer. Right for the break between two meetings or after work. Tip: add it to the diffuser and set a fifteen-minute timer, enough to rest without getting too lazy.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

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