How do I use final mirror check in a diffuser?

Add Mandarin 3 · Lemon 3 · Patchouli 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 mandarin?

Swap mandarin for sweet orange or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use final mirror check?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Final mirror check · Mandarin, Lemon, Patchouli blend

Mandarin and lemon split evenly at twelve drops each, juicy like a morning glass of juice, while patchouli adds an earthy warm base so the scent lasts. Fresh and energetic, it suits that last outfit check in front of the mirror. Premix the 30-drop batch; if using a roller bottle, avoid the sun right after applying since citrus oils are phototoxic.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
