the stubborn closed-up room

4 oils · Herbal · Minty · code BL-2100


A room kept shut for days, the air just sitting there, needs a touch of thyme. Eucalyptus opens cool and clear, rosemary and peppermint carry on with wakeful green, and thyme adds its very distinctive dry, spicy herbal note. Good for a home office in the evening, while reading long documents. Thyme is fairly bold; if you're not used to it, run the diffuser for 15 minutes, then crack the door open.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) 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

Thyme 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.
