Eyes bright as headlights · Bergamot, Peppermint, Lemon blend

Name: eyes bright as headlights
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 4 drops Bergamot essential oil; 2 drops Peppermint essential oil; 2 drops Lemon essential oil

Bergamot opens first with a tangy, slightly floral citrus note, more refined than regular orange. Peppermint and lemon join right after, making the air bright and cool, like splashing cold water on your face. This blend suits afternoons when you have to stare at a screen for a few more hours. Run the diffuser for about 20 minutes, then pause; bergamot lingers a long time in a small room. If it feels a bit sharp, cut the peppermint to 1 drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
