the double-take scent

4 oils · Floral · Herbal · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-2005


Six drops of cedarwood, dry wood with structure, four drops of tea tree, sharp, clean and unusual, and lavender and frankincense at two drops each, adding softness and warmth. A distinctive, clean scent, enough to make passersby look back. Mix the fourteen drops in a roller bottle; add more lavender if you want it softer and more approachable.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use the double-take scent in a diffuser?
Add Cedarwood 3 · Tea Tree 2 · Lavender 1 · Frankincense 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 cedarwood?
Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.
When is the best time to use the double-take scent?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
