suspiciously hardworking

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Minty · code BL-1122


Hardworking in a way that looks suspicious, so much that your family asks what's going on. Five drops of lavender lay a gentle herbal base, spearmint and rosemary, two drops each, add sweet coolness and sharp green notes, and a single drop of sweet orange leaves a cheerful freshness. Great for afternoons of studying without anyone having to remind you. For more alertness, reduce lavender to four drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.

FAQ

How do I use suspiciously hardworking in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 5 · Spearmint 2 · Rosemary 2 · Sweet Orange 1 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.
What can I use instead of lavender?
Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use suspiciously hardworking?
Run it at your desk or study corner in cycles of 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so your nose does not tune the scent out.
