itchy leg aftermath

3 oils · Citrus · Minty · code BL-2529


Two mints at once: punchy peppermint and gentler, sweeter spearmint, plus lemongrass for a tangy fresh note. The result is an icy-cool wave that feels good just to breathe after an evening of mosquito ambushes. Great for bedrooms and living rooms in summer. Use a diffuser rather than applying to skin; in rooms with small children, skip peppermint and keep just the spearmint and lemongrass.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.

Safety

Skin irritant

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.
