How do I use winter night, staying offline in a diffuser?

Add Cypress 2 · Bergamot 2 · Ylang Ylang 2 · Frankincense 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 sandalwood — 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 winter night, staying offline?

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

Winter night, staying offline · Cypress, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang blend

Phone face down, notifications off. Cypress, bergamot, ylang-ylang and frankincense in equal parts: green needles, elegant citrus, sweet florals and deep resin. Good for the bedroom or a relaxation corner on evenings you want to disconnect. Mix a bottle ahead and take 4 drops for the diffuser each time; scent-sensitive folks can reduce the ylang-ylang in the bottle to 6 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
