Swap lemongrass 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).

Handsome at the stove · Lemongrass, Sandalwood, Tea Tree blend

Six drops of zesty lemongrass like a kitchen after chopping fresh herbs, four drops of warm, smooth sandalwood, four drops of clean tea tree and two drops of bergamot for elegance. Neat and warm, like a man at the stove whose shirt still smells great. Mix the sixteen drops in a roller bottle; lemongrass can cause skin irritation, so dilute it well.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Lemongrass 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.
