How do I use day-three hair situation in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 5 · Lemon 3 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli 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 day-three hair situation?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Day-three hair situation · Patchouli, Lemon blend

Three days without washing your hair, and even the pillow is starting to smell like you. Patchouli leads with a warm, damp, slightly sweet earthiness, while lemon brightens everything back up. Two opposite scents that get along surprisingly well. Great for the bedroom when you haven't gotten around to washing the sheets. Put 2 drops on a cotton ball under your pillow; but washing your hair is still the best solution.

How it unfolds
