Twelve drops of sandalwood, warm, smooth and dense like a precious wooden plank, and three drops of myrrh adding a rustic, deep rooty note. Just two oils, yet enough to define a calm, trustworthy kind of man. Great in a roller bottle for work or evenings. Mix the fifteen drops in a 10 ml bottle; add more myrrh if you want a rougher, woodier scent.
How it unfolds
What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ
- How do I use woody and wordless in a diffuser?
- Add Sandalwood 6 · Myrrh 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 woody and wordless?
- Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
