Too hot, getting grumpy · Lemongrass, Lavender, Spearmint blend

Lemongrass pops up first, fresh and airy. Lavender and spearmint follow, one soft, one cool, pulling the scent toward pleasant and settled. Great for muggy afternoons when literally everything gets on your nerves, whether you are in the living room or the home office. For an even gentler, more mellow version, raise lavender to four drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) 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.

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.
