welcome to the new place

4 oils · Citrus · Herbal · code BL-3273


Spicy grass, orange and lemon, a dash of holy basil holding the line.

Welcome to your new home: ginger grass and sweet orange are warm and fresh, lemon is bright, and a touch of clove-like holy basil holds the line against mosquitoes and little bugs. Great for the living room, the porch or a new apartment. Start the diffuser in the early evening; holy basil is strong, so use exactly one drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ginger grass (warm and grassy, slightly spicy with a sweet root note); holy basil (warm and spicy with a clove-like edge) 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.

Holy Basil 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

How do I use welcome to the new place in a diffuser?

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
