How do I use wedding guest, dressed to impress in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 3 · Geranium 2 · Rose 1 · Frankincense 1 · Neroli 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli for cedarwood or sandalwood — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use wedding guest, dressed to impress?

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

Wedding guest, dressed to impress · Patchouli, Geranium, Rose blend

A best friend's wedding calls for smelling your best: thirty drops of luxurious, earthy patchouli, twenty drops of fresh pink geranium, and rose, frankincense and neroli at ten drops each. Radiant yet graceful overall, like the flower arch at the wedding gate. Mix the 80-drop batch in a large bottle and rest it a week; decant a few small roller bottles for the whole friend group to share.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); rose (deep, silky and luxurious); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
