Shake off tired, head out · Peppermint, Lemongrass, Frankincense blend

Name: shake off tired, head out
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 3 drops Peppermint essential oil; 3 drops Lemongrass essential oil; 2 drops Frankincense essential oil

No more tired; time to head out. Three drops each of peppermint and lemongrass give a fresh, cool wave like a glass of iced lemongrass tea, while frankincense sits underneath with a warm resin scent so the feel never turns cold and flat. The living room right before you leave, or the car, are both good spots. Tip: put 2 drops on a hanging wooden car diffuser so the drive feels less stuffy.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemongrass (fresh, green 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.

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
