This blend reminds me of an early morning walk through the downtown Saturday Farmer’s Market in Portland with a cup of hot peppermint tea. When the smells of the trees (the sweet balsamic from cypress is one of my favorites!), fresh citrus, and warm food from the food carts combine with the dew on the city buildings, it reminds me that it’s going to be an amazing day. 

This blend contains essential oils of bergamot C. aurantium var. bergamia, black pepper Piper nigrum (L.), cardamom Eletteria cardamomum (L.), cypress C. sempervirens, immortelle Helichrysum italicum (Roth), and peppermint M. ×piperita

Fire Blend – by Renee Long, Communications Specialist

When inhaling this blend, I can't seem to get The Doors' "Light My Fire" out of my head! With hot notes of cinnamon and black pepper, this spicy, intoxicating blend will light up your senses. The uplifting, floral aroma of ylang ylang complements the spices well. I think this blend is perfect for couples, and would be lovely to diffuse or use one or two drops in a massage blend around Valentine's Day or any special occasion. But it can certainly be enjoyed by anyone who loves the wild zing and zest of the spice oils! 

This blend contains essential oils of black pepper Piper nigrum (L.), cinnamon Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Blume), clove Syzygium aromaticum (L.), and ylang ylang C. odorata var. genuina.

When I inhale this blend, the strong spice, resin tones, and light floral notes make me think of walking in a meadow in the spring just after a fresh rain, when you can smell all of the wet organic matter. The air is green and uplifting. It’s a lovely aroma for meditation, to both ground your body and release your mind. 

This blend contains essential oils of lavender Lavandula angustifolia (Mill.), patchouli Pogostemon cablin (Benth.), and vetiver V. zizanioides.
