Blend recipes · Energy & alertness
Monday morning, and the inbox is overflowing with emails piled up over the weekend. Four drops of peppermint open icy cool and alert, while bergamot and eucalyptus, three drops each, add fresh citrus and a cool, airy rush. Great for an office or home workspace at the start of the week. Answer emails in rounds of twenty minutes each, and stand up for a drink of water between rounds.

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) 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.
Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.
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.
