How do I use thawing out after the cold snap in a diffuser?

Add White Tea 3 · Sweet Orange 2 · Star Anise 1 · Pink Pepper 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 white tea?

Swap white tea for black tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: black tea is steeped, warm and slightly malty.

When is the best time to use thawing out after the cold snap?

Made for chilly days, cold rain, Tet (the Lunar New Year) and Christmas; use it in the living room or bedroom.

Thawing out after the cold snap · White Tea, Sweet Orange, Star Anise blend

Sweet orange, sweet-spicy star anise, pink pepper, white tea; warm from the inside.

After a cold snap, your body craves some warmth: cheerful sweet orange opens, star anise is sweet and spicy like a morning pot of pho, pink pepper sparkles, and white tea keeps the base clean. Great for the kitchen, living room or bedroom on chilly days. Star anise is quite strong, so if you are scent-sensitive, use half a drop by adding it to a larger bottle mix.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); pink pepper (lightly spicy, sparkling and berry-like) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper); star anise (sweet and warm, reminiscent of pho broth and Tet sweets) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
