fresh out of the pool

2 oils · Herbal · Minty · code BL-1987


Sweet, cool spearmint and dry, herbal thyme split evenly at ten drops each, giving a cold, clean feeling like surfacing from the pool. Fresh and energizing, it's perfect for summer: towel around your neck, sunshine on your shoulders. Premix the 20-drop batch; if using a roller bottle, dilute it well since thyme is fairly strong, or use 4 drops in a bathroom diffuser.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) 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.


Method

Safety

Skin irritant

Thyme can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

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 fresh out of the pool in a diffuser?
Add Thyme 4 · Spearmint 4 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 thyme?
Swap thyme for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.
When is the best time to use fresh out of the pool?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
