Lake Erie Essential Oil: Lavender and Spearmint for Open-Window Days
Save
Our Lavender Lake Erie Essential Oil is a summer morning on the Erie shore in a little amber bottle. It blends lavender with bright, cool spearmint for a fresh, clean scent that wakes up a room, and it is one of five Great Lakes blends.
The scent
Spearmint is softer and sweeter than peppermint, so the blend smells fresh and green rather than sharp. Lavender rounds it off with a floral note. Together they smell like the first warm day of spring when every window in the house finally gets opened.
When to diffuse Lake Erie
- Cleaning day: a fresh scent to match a freshly mopped floor.
- Work-from-home mornings: a bright scent for the desk corner.
- Spring thaw: when you want the house to smell like the outdoors before it is warm enough to open up.
- After cooking: to freshen the kitchen once dinner is done.
Using essential oil with care
This oil is sold for diffusing. Follow your diffuser's instructions for how many drops and how long to run it, and start on the lighter side; you can always add a drop. Keep the bottle out of reach of children and pets, and do not take it internally. If you share your home with pets, especially cats or birds, ask your vet before diffusing around them.
Storing a 10 ml bottle
Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright somewhere cool and out of direct sun. The amber glass helps protect the oil from light, and a closed cupboard does the rest. Wipe the neck of the bottle now and then so the cap stays easy to open.
Collecting the Great Lakes blends
Lake Erie is the bright, minty member of the set. The others pair lavender with cedarwood, eucalyptus, frankincense and pine, so you can rotate scents with the seasons. A single bottle makes a nice gift for someone who would rather be at the beach, and the Gift Box Builder can turn it into a fuller present.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put it on my skin?
The directions on the listing are for diffusing. For the same lavender and spearmint scent on skin, try the Lake Erie body butter or lip balm instead.
How many drops should I use?
Follow your diffuser's instructions. Most people start with a few drops and adjust to taste.
Is it the same scent as the Lake Erie body butter?
Both pair lavender with spearmint, so they make a natural matching set.
