fresh shave, off to work

3 oils · Citrus · Herbal · code BL-1836


Fresh, sweet mandarin takes the largest share, eucalyptus is cool and clean like a breeze after shaving, and clary sage adds a warm herbal layer so the scent doesn't feel cold. Overall clean and youthful, it's perfect for rushed mornings before work. The 40-drop batch is best premixed; for a roller bottle, dilute it well with carrier oil and apply to your wrists and the back of your neck.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) 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.

FAQ

How do I use fresh shave, off to work in a diffuser?
Add Mandarin 4 · Eucalyptus 2 · Clary Sage 2 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.

Swap mandarin for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
