Basil magic for bad days · Frankincense, Basil blend

Even a terrible day can be rescued with a little magic. Six drops of frankincense make a deep resin base with a whisper of lemon peel; four drops of basil add fresh, sweet, spicy green leaf. An odd couple that works, both calm and lively. Good for the living room in the early evening. If basil is new to you, cut it to three drops and run the diffuser a little longer.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
