still as a rainy day

4 oils · Floral · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0982


Still as a long rainy day, with only the sound of water and the warmth indoors. Frankincense and sandalwood, eight drops each, lay a base of warm resin and creamy wood, while geranium and lavender add green rose and gentle herbs. Mix a bottle ahead so you have some for every rainy day, five drops each time. Great for a bedroom or living room on rainy days, paired with a cup of ginger tea.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use still as a rainy day in a diffuser?
Add Frankincense 2 · Sandalwood 2 · Geranium 2 · Lavender 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 frankincense?
Swap frankincense for vanilla or myrrh — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: vanilla is creamy, sweet and cozy.

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.
