Add Clary Sage 2 · Peppermint 2 · Lavender 2 · Cinnamon 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

Ice cream in cold weather · Clary Sage, Peppermint, Lavender blend

Craving ice cream when it's freezing out? This scent is just as contrary. Icy peppermint and warm, spicy cinnamon show up together, cushioned in the middle by clary sage and lavender with sweet herb and purple flowers. The result is cool and warm at once, lots of fun for the nose. This is a big batch, about 5 drops of the mix each time; if the cinnamon feels sharp, lower it to four drops next time you mix.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) 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.

Skin irritant

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