A bit of a busybody, but adorable. Four drops of bergamot open clean and cheerful, three drops of lime are tart, green and playful, and basil and peppermint, two drops each, add spicy-sweet leaves and an icy chill. The kitchen, dining room or a morning work corner all suit it. To tone down the bubbliness, leave out the peppermint and add 1 drop of bergamot.

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
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. 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.
Bergamot and Lime can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.
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.
