How do I use orris-level understated in a diffuser?

Add Pomelo 3 · Bergamot 2 · Orris 1 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 pomelo?

Swap pomelo for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use orris-level understated?

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

Orris-level understated · Pomelo, Bergamot, Orris blend

Lightly bitter citrus under a veil of orris powder; elegance in a whisper.

Classy without even trying: pomelo peel and bergamot are lightly bitter, bright and clean, and orris lays down a smooth powdery veil, elegance in a whisper. Great for the closet, the home office or a vanity. Run the diffuser on low for about 15 minutes each morning; for more powder, raise orris to two drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Pomelo (bittersweet and fragrant, very Vietnamese); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Orris (powdery, soft and very elegant) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
