steady as an old banyan

3 oils · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0558


Steady as an old tree in the village temple courtyard. Eight drops of juniper open with a clear, berry-like conifer note, frankincense supports it with deep, warm resin, and cypress adds a clean layer of green wood. This woody, resinous scent suits a home office, reading corner or entryway. Switch it on Monday morning when you need to feel solid and calm before a busy stretch.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use steady as an old banyan in a diffuser?
Add Juniper 4 · Frankincense 3 · Cypress 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 juniper?
Swap juniper 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 steady as an old banyan?
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.
