swim, then chill

4 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Minty · code BL-1585


Done swimming, body cool, mind at ease. Three drops of airy eucalyptus lead, while lime, bergamot and spearmint, one drop each, add green tartness, clean citrus and sweet coolness. The scent is clean and refreshing, great for the bathroom or bedroom after coming home from the pool. For a softer version, cut the eucalyptus to 2 and let the citrus lead.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.


Method

Safety

Photosensitizing

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

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.


FAQ

How do I use swim, then chill in a diffuser?
Add Eucalyptus 3 · Lime 1 · Bergamot 1 · Spearmint 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 eucalyptus?
Swap eucalyptus for rosemary or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.
When is the best time to use swim, then chill?
Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.
