How do I use still as a tree in a diffuser?

Add Cypress 3 · Cedarwood 2 · Frankincense 1 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 cypress?

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

When is the best time to use still as a tree?

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

Still as a tree · Cypress, Cedarwood, Frankincense blend

Standing still as a tree, roots deep, leaves barely moving. Three drops of cypress open with cool needles, two drops of cedarwood add steady dry wood, and a single drop of frankincense holds warm resin at the end. Great for standing meditation, tree pose in yoga, or a leafy plant corner at home. For a deeper version, add a drop of myrrh.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
