trash can, somehow fragrant

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2403


The trash hasn't been taken out yet, but the kitchen corner already smells nice. Tea tree makes up most of it with a clean green note, lavender is gentle, and thyme and lemon split the finish, dry spicy herbs and bright freshness. Put 2 drops in the bottom of the trash can before putting in a new bag. But you should still take out the trash tonight.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) 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.

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.


FAQ
