cycling around West Lake

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Minty · code BL-1789


Sweet white jasmine leads like flowers along the road, lemon adds a fresh coolness like the breeze off the water, and one drop of cool peppermint helps your mind feel more alert. It recalls cycling around West Lake in Hanoi. Great for summer mornings or late afternoons by the window. Peppermint is very strong, so keep it to exactly one drop; for a clearer floral, add jasmine.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lemon 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.


FAQ

How do I use cycling around West Lake in a diffuser?
Add Jasmine 4 · Lemon 2 · Peppermint 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of jasmine?
Swap jasmine for lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.
When is the best time to use cycling around West Lake?
Made for date nights, candlelit dinners and private spaces; switch it on 15 minutes before anyone arrives.
