fresh herbs from the market

5 oils · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-0397


A basket of fresh herbs on your arm, the leaves still wet with dew. Rosemary leads green and sharp, while lavender, ylang-ylang, basil and cypress add one drop each: purple herb, yellow flowers, sweet-spicy basil leaf, green wood. The scent is as fresh as a morning herb stall, good for the kitchen or dining room. Run the diffuser while you pick through and rinse the greens.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) form the body of the scent and stay 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.

FAQ

How do I use fresh herbs from the market in a diffuser?
Add Rosemary 2 · Lavender 1 · Ylang Ylang 1 · Basil 1 · Cypress 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 rosemary?
Swap rosemary for eucalyptus or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: eucalyptus is strong, cool and wide open.
When is the best time to use fresh herbs from the market?
Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.
