Myrrh makes up half, a deep, warm rooty scent like an old wooden bench on the porch, while lemon and lemongrass split the fresh, zesty part, like an iced lemon tea while sneaking away from work. The 120-drop batch is fairly large, so mix it in a bottle and use it over time. In a diffuser you only need 4 drops; in hot weather add more lemon for a cooler scent.

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
What remains. Myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
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.
