A weekend morning, basket in hand, off to the market. Lime, fennel and basil split evenly at three drops each: green tartness, anise sweetness and spicy-sweet leaves, like the herb stall at the market entrance. The scent is super fresh and very everyday, great for the kitchen or dining room. If you're new to fennel, cut it to 2; switch it on while putting groceries away in the fridge.

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Fennel (sweet and herbal with a little anise); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) 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.
Lime 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.
