the admired senior next door

6 oils · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-2014


Five drops of warm, smooth sandalwood lead, then frankincense, vanilla, cedarwood, patchouli and myrrh layer in one by one: resin, warm sweetness, dry wood, deep earth, rooty wood. A mature, luxurious scent with its own pull, like the senior colleague next door everyone respects. Mix the eighteen drops in a roller bottle and rest it a few days; add more vanilla if you want it sweeter and softer.

How it unfolds

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use the admired senior next door in a diffuser?
Add Sandalwood 2 · Frankincense 2 · Vanilla 1 · Cedarwood 1 · Patchouli 1 · Myrrh 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 sandalwood?
Swap sandalwood for cypress or juniper — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cypress is fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood.
When is the best time to use the admired senior next door?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
