Lots of clary sage creates a slightly sweet herbal base, geranium layers a green floral note on top, lemon adds freshness, and peppermint, just two drops, feels as cool as a breeze from a fan. The scent suits a summer bedroom, especially a west-facing room that stays stuffy at night. The 32-drop recipe is for a large diffuser; for a small one, use about a quarter, and don't let the peppermint go over one drop.

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
