Some fresh scents feel like cool air, clear thoughts, and a clean morning reset.
Rosemary + Peppermint is crisp, herbal, minty, fresh, and energizing. Rosemary gives the clean green herbal lift. Peppermint adds a cool, bright freshness that makes the blend feel awake, sharp, and refreshing.
This is the cool herbal side of Energy: fresh rosemary, cool peppermint, clean skin, and that bright “deep breath in the morning” feeling.

Ingredients
For one 10 ml roll-on bottle:
10 ml jojoba oil or fractionated coconut oil, minus room for scent drops
1 drop rosemary essential oil
1 drop peppermint essential oil
Important: Peppermint essential oil is very strong and cooling on the skin, so use it lightly. Rosemary essential oil can also be stimulating and strong depending on the chemotype. For the safest beginner version, use only 1 drop of each oil in a 10 ml roll-on and avoid applying near the eyes, face, nose, or sensitive areas.
Before You Start
Use only skin-safe materials from a reputable supplier.
Use peppermint essential oil lightly because it can feel cooling, tingly, or irritating on sensitive skin.
Use rosemary essential oil lightly, especially if you are sensitive to strong herbal oils.
Do not use peppermint flavoring, rosemary extract, dried herbs, tea, or food ingredients.
Do not apply this blend close to the eyes, nose, lips, chest, or intimate areas.
Avoid using this blend on young children.
If pregnant, nursing, prone to seizures, sensitive to menthol, or making this for someone with health concerns, check each ingredient carefully before use.
Do not add water, aloe, hydrosols, tea, milk, or water-based ingredients.
Drops are approximate. For selling or professional production, convert the formula to weight percentages and follow supplier and IFRA guidance.

Parlor Scent Lab Notes
Rosemary gives crisp green herbal freshness.
Peppermint gives cool, minty brightness.
This should smell clean, sharp, fresh, and energizing.
If it feels too minty, use less peppermint next time.
If it smells too medicinal, let it rest longer before adjusting.

Keep away from heat, sunlight, humidity, and water.
Use within 3 to 6 months.
Patch test before using.
Do not use on broken, irritated, freshly shaved, or sunburned skin.
Keep away from eyes, mouth, nose, face, and intimate areas.
Stop using if irritation, redness, itching, burning, headache, tingling, cooling discomfort, or breathing discomfort happens.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
If pregnant, nursing, sensitive to fragrance, prone to seizures, sensitive to menthol, or making this for someone with health concerns, check each ingredient before use.
