Add Holy Basil 2 · Lemon 2 · Palmarosa 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

Strange smells, vanish · Holy Basil, Lemon, Palmarosa blend

Clean spice, lemon and palmarosa; the room smells fresh again instantly.

Odd smells, be gone: clean, spicy holy basil, fresh lemon and palmarosa fragrant with leaves and petals, all three in equal parts, and the room smells fresh again instantly. Neat and clean, great for the bathroom, kitchen or a room with pets. Run the diffuser for about 20 minutes after cleaning; holy basil is fairly strong, so use one drop less in a small room.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Holy basil (warm and spicy with a clove-like edge); palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Holy Basil 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.
