How do I use warm as a mug of cocoa in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 5 · Sweet Orange 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 sandalwood?

Swap sandalwood 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 as a mug of cocoa?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Warm as a mug of cocoa · Sandalwood, Sweet Orange blend

Smooth, creamy wood from sandalwood, warm like hot milk, plus the juicy citrus of sweet orange, instantly bringing to mind a mug of cocoa with orange zest. A simple, cozy two-note blend, perfect for the living room on a rainy day or a reading corner. Sandalwood lasts a long time, so running the diffuser for 20 minutes and then pausing is enough. For a fresher scent, raise sweet orange to 3 drops.
