Forget the florals—today we’re going deep, woody, and spicy. If you’re tired of the usual citrus and mint, this blend of Sandalwood, Nutmeg, and Black Pepper will transport you to a completely different place.
Refer to our oil profiles for safety guidelines.
Essential Oil Profiles
Lemon (Citrus limon) has a bright, fresh, and uplifting aroma. It promotes happiness and positive energy wherever it is used. Lemon is phototoxic and should be used at a low dilution. Otherwise, it is safe but may cause skin irritation.
Peppery, fresh, and zesty, Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) is popular for boosting productivity and confidence. The oil's hot and spicy nature may cause skin irritation, and should be diluted to 1% when applied to the skin. Once it oxidizes, it becomes more likely to cause serious skin irritation or sensitization.
Sandalwood (Santalum album) has a sweet, woody, sensual aroma that evokes feelings of security and trust. It is non-toxic and non-irritating, but it may cause skin sensitization in rare cases. The recommended safe topical application is 2%.
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) smells like the spice—warm, spicy, sweet, and woodsy. It’s a popular scent that lifts the spirit and sparks the imagination, helping us engage in life with an open heart. It can irritate the skin when it oxidizes. Use Nutmeg sparingly at a 1-2% dilution. Some sources suggest avoiding the use of Nutmeg oil during pregnancy.
Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllata) provides warming effects. Diffusing it can help purify the air and promote vibrant health. It may irritate the skin and mucous membranes and can cause dermatitis and sensitization. Use at very low dilutions of 0.5% on the skin for short periods. It is not recommended for use in a bath. Use caution when diffusing or inhaling it. Do not use with babies or children. Never apply it undiluted to the skin. Use cautiously on people with impaired liver function, and it should be avoided by those with clotting disorders.
