Add Sandalwood 3 · Frankincense 2 · Mandarin 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.

Temple yard at full moon · Sandalwood, Frankincense, Mandarin blend

A temple courtyard early in the morning, faint incense smoke, leaves scattered on the brick floor. Three drops of sandalwood lay a creamy wood base, frankincense adds a familiar resin note, and two drops of mandarin bring a sweet freshness like the plate of mandarins on a family altar. Great for the living room on full moon days, the first of the lunar month, or Tet, the Lunar New Year. Tip: start the diffuser after cleaning the house.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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