promised to clean last week

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2324


You promised to clean last week, and only now are you getting started. Fresh lemon peel opens the show, rosemary and lavender share the middle, green herbs and soft florals, and a single drop of lemongrass adds a bit of fresh green at the end. Switch on the diffuser like a starting whistle, and make a deal with yourself: it doesn't go off until you're done.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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 Skin irritant

Lemon 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.
