How do I use icy exterior, soft center in a diffuser?

Add Myrrh 3 · Patchouli 2 · Rose 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 myrrh?

Swap myrrh for frankincense or vanilla — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: frankincense is resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still.

When is the best time to use icy exterior, soft center?

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

Icy exterior, soft center · Myrrh, Patchouli, Rose blend

Myrrh opens with deep rooty wood and patchouli pulls in more warm earth, so you'd think it's cold and aloof, but two drops of rose at the end soften it into something surprisingly cute. For people who rarely smile, but when they do, everyone melts. Mix the seven drops in a roller bottle with carrier oil; raise rose to three drops for a more obviously feminine scent.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Rose (deep, silky and luxurious) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
