How do I use slow and steady in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 5 · Clary Sage 3 · Bergamot 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 slow and steady?

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.

Slow and steady · Sandalwood, Clary Sage, Bergamot blend

Sandalwood is in charge with a smooth, warm, long-lasting creamy wood base, clary sage adds a sweet herbal note, and bergamot opens with an elegant streak of fresh citrus. The scent is calm and steady, perfect for a home office in the evening when you tackle one task at a time, no rush. Sandalwood lingers, so running the diffuser for just 20 minutes keeps the room scented all evening.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

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