Detoxifying & Energizing Blend

A five-oil blend of cypress, juniper berry, rosemary, grapefruit and lemon. Sharp and green at the top, grapefruit and lemon zest over camphorous rosemary, with dry cypress wood and the gin-like resin of juniper berry holding the base.

Cypress adds a fresh woodsy grounding, juniper berry a crisp and slightly fruity note, rosemary a camphoraceous herbal edge, and grapefruit and lemon the bright citrus top.

The botanical names are cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), juniper berry (Juniperus communis), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) and lemon (Citrus limon). The scent is crisp and woodland-like. It pairs well with peppermint, eucalyptus and lavender if you want to extend it, and it suits studies, gyms and entryways.

How to use it

Diffuse 4 to 6 drops in a workspace for a bracing, clean-smelling room, or dilute to 1 to 2% in a carrier oil for a morning body oil. It also suits a simple room spray at about 15 drops per 100ml of water with a little witch hazel. For external aromatic use only, never taken by mouth. Technique tip: this oil is photosensitising, so keep treated skin out of direct sunlight for twelve hours, or diffuse instead.
