Add Cedarwood 3 · Bergamot 3 · Clary Sage 2 · Ylang Ylang 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.

Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.

Steady while everything shifts · Cedarwood, Bergamot, Clary Sage blend

A mind that stays steady while the world keeps changing sounds grand, but it starts with a few minutes of breathing. Cedarwood and bergamot, three drops each, lay a base of dry wood and fresh citrus, while clary sage and ylang ylang add sweet herbs and rich florals. Great for the morning before work or a meditation corner. If sweet florals aren't your thing, reduce ylang ylang to one drop.

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); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.
