basil break for keyboard warriors

2 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-0126


Typing all day, your hands need a break too. Two drops of lavender give a soft, purple-herb base, and one drop of basil adds a green, spicy-sweet note, fresh like just-picked basil leaves. The scent is neat, clean and a little surprising, perfect for your desk in the evening. Use a mini diffuser next to your laptop; for a softer feel add a drop of lavender, for a more alert one add basil.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
