Short on sleep, still showing up · Clary Sage, Rosemary, Lavender blend

Short on sleep, but you still have to show up. Clary sage, rosemary, lavender and tea tree, three drops each: herbs sweet like tea, green like leaves, soft purple florals and a fresh, sharp streak at the end. This blend keeps you alert without making you more restless, great for the office at the start of the week. If the tea tree stands out too much, cut it to 2 drops and add 1 drop of lavender.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
