How do I use warm and low-key in a diffuser?

Add Cypress 4 · Sandalwood 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 cypress?

Swap cypress for cedarwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use warm and low-key?

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

Warm and low-key · Cypress, Sandalwood blend

Cypress opens with clean green needles, and sandalwood follows, softening it with smooth, warm wood. A composed, understated scent for the home office or the closet of someone who loves simplicity and clean lines. Use it while working in the morning; for a warmer version on cold days, change the ratio to 3 cypress and 3 sandalwood.

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. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
