more smiles than words

3 oils · Citrus · Herbal · code BL-1372


This ratio deliberately leans hard into lime: sixty drops of zesty, tart green, thirty drops of basil that's sweet and spicy like fresh herbs, and ten drops of rosemary to set a herbal base. The scent feels very Vietnamese, fresh like an early morning market. This premixed bottle suits the kitchen and dining room. Use only 5 drops at a time; remember to shake well before dispensing to keep the ratio right.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing

Lime 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.


FAQ

How do I use more smiles than words in a diffuser?
Add Lime 5 · Basil 2 · Rosemary 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of lime?
Swap lime for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use more smiles than words?
Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.
