Blend recipes · Energy & alertness
Like pressing F5 on your brain. Lemon opens bright and tart, peppermint adds a cool jolt, then cypress settles in with a green, slightly resinous conifer note, like walking past a row of cypress trees. This three-layer blend suits a desk with twenty browser tabs open. For a stronger forest feel, raise the cypress to 3 drops and cut the peppermint to 1.

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) 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.
Lemon 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.
