gentleman at the class reunion

3 oils · Minty · Woody · code BL-1850


Three oils at three drops each, each with a role: deep, warm patchouli like a dark suit, dry and dapper cedarwood, and sweet, cool spearmint that makes the scent a few years younger. Polished enough to see old friends again without seeming stuffy. Mix it in a 10 ml roller bottle and apply to your wrists and the back of your neck; use less patchouli for a midday reunion.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.


Method

Diffuser
Patchouli 3 · Cedarwood 3 · Spearmint 3 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.
10 ml roller
Patchouli 2 · Cedarwood 2 · Spearmint 2 drops, then top up with a carrier oil (jojoba or sweet almond). Dab on wrists and the back of the neck.
50 ml room spray
Patchouli 10 · Cedarwood 10 · Spearmint 10 drops + 1 teaspoon of food-grade alcohol, then top up with distilled water. Shake before spraying.
