3 oils · Citrus · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1898


You can still smell great on a no-makeup day: warm, rooty myrrh forms the base, fresh bergamot floats on top, and one drop of patchouli helps the scent last. Rustic, natural and very real. Great in a roller bottle for days at home or strolling around the neighborhood. Mix the six drops in a 10 ml bottle; add more bergamot if you want it fresher for the morning.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.

Safety

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use outfit check at the corner in a diffuser?
Add Myrrh 3 · Bergamot 2 · Patchouli 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 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 outfit check at the corner?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
