Blend recipes · Energy & alertness
First-day-at-work jitters call for a scent that's both bright and grounded. Bergamot leads, fresh yet gentle; frankincense sets a warm layer of fragrant resin in the middle; and peppermint keeps your mind sharp. This blend is great for the dressing room as you get ready, or for a new desk that doesn't feel like yours yet. Tiny tip: put 1 drop of the diluted blend on a handkerchief and take a breath before you walk into the meeting.

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
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.
