Bergamot and mandarin, two fresh shades of citrus, give a cheerful, clean scent that makes anyone eager to lace up and work out. Light and never heavy, even when you sweat. Mix the six drops in a roller bottle and apply before heading to the gym; avoid the sun right after since citrus oils are phototoxic. Add one drop of mandarin for extra sweetness.

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) 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.
Bergamot 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.
