Lime, just like its owner · Lime, Lemongrass, Tea Tree blend

A room that smells of lime, just like its owner: a little aloof but classy. Lime opens with a slightly bitter citrus peel, lemongrass is fresh and green, and tea tree keeps a clean green note. Your own bedroom or a home office suits it best. For something fresher, add 1 drop of lemon; for something softer, add 1 drop of lavender.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal 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

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lime 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.
