basil-bright all day

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-1406


Lemongrass and geranium split it evenly at five drops each, fresh lemony grass wrapped around green rose; three drops of basil add the sweet, spicy note of fresh herbs, and two drops of lime bring green tartness. This blend is super fresh and lively all day long. Great for the living room, the kitchen or a small shop. If the scent feels a bit sharp by the afternoon, leave out the lime in the next refill.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lime can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
