By lunch time, the oil you’ve made is no longer smelly after a week. Starts to feel heavy on skin at midday. At times it smells like cedar too. This is a problem.
You attempt to "repair" it by putting in some oil. This will work for one or two days. If you have that problem again, then you have the problem. You're not sure what to do.
People believe that the issue is with the mixture of the beard oil. That typically isn't the situation. The trouble is with the proportion of the ingredients, the timing and the way the oil is stored. One has to be aware of what went wrong.

Jojoba oil is good, because it is similar to the oil in your skin and it absorbs into your skin well. Does not give greasy looking skin. Grapeseed oil has a small density. Helps to keep your skin from looking shiny.
The orange is clove-scented and the sandalwood has a clove scent. It is not an aroma of "smell one. This is bad as it gives your beard oil an amateurish look. The issue is that the core oil chemicals must be allowed to permeate the base oil.
Otherwise, the odor of your oil will not be correct if you don't take the time. This is a problem you will need to remedy by allowing your beard oil to sit for a day before using it. It should be kept in a dark glass bottle. Allow to rest for 48 hours. The bottle needs to be shaken every day. This will help the oil compounds to diffuse through the carrier oil.

There is also the need to perform a patch test prior to using a recipe on skin. This will enable you to ensure that you don't have any allergy to any of the ingredients.
