Hot Mess

Daily Ritual

Roll onto pulse points (wrists, neck, temples) and across your heart in the morning to help you face the day, again mid-afternoon before the slump hits, and in the evening once the post-dinner chaos settles.

Apply anytime you feel the heat rising, emotionally or physically. For hot flushes, roll onto the back of your neck or across your chest for a quick cooling hit.

Take a breath, remind yourself you’re a badass, and carry on.

Floral without the fluff. Grounded. Calm. The olfactory equivalent of taking a deep breath and remembering who you are.

 

Hot Mess hits you with soft-but-strong floral energy — think clary sage, geranium bourbon, rose, and lavender — all doing their job without demanding attention. Bergamot and neroli add a fresh edge (so you don’t spiral), while sandalwood, vetiver, and frankincense hold it down with serious calm-the-F-down energy. Copaiba rounds it all out with a smooth, grounded base that’s equal parts steady and soothing.

 

This isn’t just a nice smell. It’s a moment of clarity. A floral backbone. A reset in a roller.

Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba), Salvia sclarea (Clary Sage), Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium Bourbon), Boswellia (Frankincense), Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender), Citrus Bergamia (Bergamot), Santalum spicatum (Sandalwood), Copaifera spp (Copaiba), Citrus aurantium (Neroli), Rosa damascena (Rose), Vetiveria zizanioides (Vetiver).

For external use only. Don’t apply to broken skin, keep it out of your eyes, and don’t go rolling it anywhere it doesn’t belong (you know what we mean).

 

This blend is safe for daily use — apply up to 5–6 times a day as needed. For ongoing, long-term use, a break every 4–6 weeks can be a nice reset, but it’s not essential. Listen to your body. You’ll know.

 

Not recommended during pregnancy. If you’re breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are on medication, check in with your healthcare professional first — better safe than sorry.

 

Store somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight (and out of reach of tiny humans). Patch test if your skin’s the sensitive type.

 

 

[The straight and narrow version: External use only. Not for internal use. Avoid contact with eyes. If pregnant, breastfeeding, or under medical care, consult your practitioner before use.
