gridlock, deep breaths

3 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1247


Three drops, three personalities: lime, sharp and zesty like fresh lime peel; myrrh, warm and deep with a rooty wood tone; and eucalyptus, airy and cool. The scent is natural, neat and clean, like a bare face that still looks put together. Good for a small bedroom or the bathroom while you get ready for work. Because the amount is small, this recipe is for spaces under 10m²; for a bigger room, just double all three.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lime 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.
