year-end mini retreat

4 oils · Citrus · Woody · code BL-2760


Juniper and sweet orange travel together up top, dry needles meeting fresh orange; cedarwood and pine follow with dry wood and cool resin. It feels like a small retreat in the forest, good for the living room or bedroom when you give yourself a few slow days at year's end. Start the diffuser as you journal your year in review; for a fresher version, add 1 drop of sweet orange.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood); pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
