basil-bright Monday

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-1868


Cool, soft lavender leads, while basil and ylang ylang balance, one green, spicy and fresh, the other a sweet, gentle floral. An upbeat scent for Monday morning, never too harsh: coffee in one hand, to-do list in the other. Great for the office at the start of the week. Eight drops is right for the diffuser; add more basil if you need to feel more alert.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.
