Blend recipes · Energy & alertness
Just two oils, and they get the job done. Three drops of lemon open bright, tart and fragrant; two drops of peppermint follow icy cool, keeping the scent clear throughout. This minimalist blend works in any small space: your desk, the bathroom or the car, when you're short on sleep but don't want to look it. Tip: add it to the diffuser with cool water instead of warm to keep the lemon crisp for longer.

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp 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.
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.
