Just manly enough · Lemongrass, Sandalwood, Bergamot blend

Fresh, zesty lemongrass leads like an early breeze, warm, smooth sandalwood forms a masculine base that's never rough, and two drops of bergamot add elegance. Strong enough, gentle enough, the balance most people are looking for. Great in a roller bottle for work or after sports. Lemongrass can cause skin irritation, so dilute it well; add more sandalwood if you want it warmer.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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.
