How to feel summer even in the shade
In Corfu in July I hardly wear perfume. It is enough for me to touch my shoulders with oil that smells like skin in the sun: a little citrus, a little dry grass, a little tart light.
I make this oil as a summer gesture - not a care, not a ritual, but a reminder: you are here, you are warm, you are inside the day.
☀️ Recipe for "Oil of Light"
30 ml grape seed oil (light and almost invisible)
5 ml apricot kernel oil (gives softness and goldenness)
2 drops green mandarin essential oil
1 drop of immortelle essential oil
1 drop vetiver essential oil (optional - as a warm dust)
→ Mix everything in a glass bottle → Apply to shoulders, collarbones, arms - especially in the morning or on the road → Do not go out into the active sun immediately after application
This oil does not smell like the body, but like its memory in the sun . It is not a perfume. It is like a gesture: to open the morning, to breathe in the light, to feel like you are on vacation even if you are at home.
📌 Phrase for the Sun Notebook: Light doesn't have to be seen. Sometimes you can just wear it.
