Lemongrass, less overthinking · Juniper, Sweet Orange, Lemongrass blend

When your thoughts get too loud, turn them down a little. Juniper and sweet orange, five drops each, make a fresh-green and cheerful-sweet pair, while three drops of lemongrass add a bright, vivid tang. This blend suits an afternoon of work when you need to clear your head. For a mellower version once it gets dark, add two drops of frankincense.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
