How do I use simple, but make it luxe in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 4 · Cedarwood 2 · Clary Sage 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 geranium?

Swap geranium for lavender or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use simple, but make it luxe?

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.

Simple, but make it luxe · Geranium, Cedarwood, Clary Sage blend

Three essential oils, nothing fancy, yet still upscale. Five drops of geranium open with fresh green rose, cedarwood lines it with warm dry wood, and clary sage adds sweet, slightly musky herb, like walking into the lobby of a small boutique hotel. Good for the living room when guests are coming. Switch it on 20 minutes ahead, with the diffuser on medium so the scent spreads evenly without getting heavy.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
