Herb garden at lamp-light · Lemon Eucalyptus blend

Six oils, 10 drops each. Lemon eucalyptus and lemongrass open bright and zesty, geranium slips in green rose, thyme adds a warm, slightly peppery herbal note, peppermint scatters coolness, and cedarwood holds a dry wood base at the end. Like stepping into a small garden just as the house lights come on. This is a premix; add 6 drops per session and run the diffuser 30 minutes in a room that opens to the garden or porch.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

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