staying out till late

4 oils · Citrus · Herbal · code BL-2578


Lemongrass and lemon eucalyptus open bright, crisp and zesty. Tea tree adds a sharp leafy note, and basil brings a sweet, peppery green like a basket of fresh herbs. An awake, lively scent for evenings when you drag chairs into the yard and chat till late. Set the diffuser on the porch or in the living room with the door open, run it 30 minutes early in the evening and once more later on.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) 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

Skin irritant

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.
