Today we will share some of our secrets with you, through 3 custom mixes we crafted exclusively for this blog.
Tea Tree (2 drops) + Eucalyptus (1 drop) + Cucumber (5 drops)
We start with something fresh and energizing. Tea Tree and Eucalyptus, usually associated with SPA treatments and beauty masks, are the main notes of this mix. To counterbalance the punchiness of the top note, we smooth the mix with the Cucumber essential oil.
We love to use this mix in living rooms, and home offices. This essence is a perfect companion for active experiences helping with focus and recalling natural moments. It sets the tone when entering / leaving your. In warm seasons and hot days the essence helps cooling down, and take a reinvigorating break.
Lavender (2 drops) + Rosemary (2 drops) + Clary Sage (3 drops)
Fragrant lavender essential oil and herbal rosemary are excellent companions. It feel like a walk through the garden. Lavender is known for its calming and balancing properties, while the rosemary essential oil is highly clarifying and invigorating.
We add the Clary Sage to refine the fragrance. It is a less usual recognizable smell, and has a smooth, silky long lasting smell, that well complement the top part of this composition. Clary Sage is known as one of the most relaxing, soothing, and balancing essential oils.

We like to use this fragrance in bedrooms and bathrooms. Perfect for unwind after a long stressful day, and perfect to ease into a new day. When closing your eyes, the smell triggers wide open spaces, natural grass fields and fresh blossoming flowers.
Orange (3 drops) + Coconut (3 drops) + Basil (2 drops)
A fabulous fragrance with a strong summer arrangement of fresh oranges, creamy coconut, and herbal basil. The mix begins with top notes of citrus, smoothed out by the tropical freshness of the coconut. The middle note of Basil complement the mix with a lingering recall of open fields.
Breathe in deeply and imagine the scent as the sun sets over a field of Bitter Orange trees on the hills of the Mediterranean region. The distinctive aroma of sun-drenched Citrus fruits leave space to the delicate notes of Sweet Oranges after the first hour of exposure. This fragrance is very distinctive and can trigger your memory straight from the doorstep.
