bus ride home from school

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Resinous & sweet · code BL-0951


School's out; you ride the bus with your head resting on the window, watching the streets. Three drops of frankincense open warm and clear, Roman chamomile and bergamot add sweet apple and fresh citrus, and a single drop of clary sage gives the scent depth. Great for a study room in the evening, or drip it onto a lava stone bracelet to take along. On blazing afternoons, raise bergamot to three drops for a lighter feel.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
