The Azlok Earthy Essential Oils Set is a pack of three pure, steam-distilled oils \u2014 lemongrass, orange and peppermint \u2014 each in a 10 ml glass bottle, sold together for around \u20b9499. It's a practical starter kit if you want to try aromatherapy, freshen a room with a diffuser, or make your own soaps and candles without committing to a large single bottle.
What's in the set
You get three distinct scents that happen to work beautifully together and on their own:
- Lemongrass oil \u2014 sharp, grassy and citrusy, often used to freshen rooms and in DIY skincare and haircare formulations.
- Orange essential oil \u2014 sweet, bright and uplifting, a favourite for mood-boosting diffuser blends and homemade soaps.
- Peppermint oil \u2014 cool and minty, popular in aromatherapy and as a clean, energising note in blends.
All three are undiluted and free of additives or fillers, which means a little goes a long way and you control the strength yourself.
Everyday uses
These oils are versatile enough for both hobby and home:
- Aromatherapy and diffusers: a few drops in a diffuser fill the room with a fresh, natural fragrance.
- Mood and focus: orange lifts a dull afternoon, while peppermint feels crisp and awakening.
- DIY soap and candle making: add scent to melt-and-pour soap bases or candle wax.
- Skincare and haircare formulations: use in properly diluted homemade oils, scrubs or rinses.
- Room and linen sprays: mix with water and a dispersant for a quick refresh.
How to use them
Essential oils are concentrated, so they are almost always diluted before use.
- For a diffuser: add 3\u20135 drops to the water reservoir. Start light and adjust to taste.
- For the skin: dilute in a carrier oil such as coconut, almond or jojoba \u2014 a safe starting point is about 1\u20132 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil (roughly 1\u20132% dilution).
- For soap and candles: follow your base or wax manufacturer's recommended fragrance load, usually a small percentage of the total weight.
- For a room spray: combine a few drops with water and a little solubiliser in a spray bottle; shake before each use.
Blends worth trying
Because the set pairs citrus with mint, you can mix and match easily:
- Fresh morning: 2 drops orange + 2 drops peppermint.
- Clean and grassy: 3 drops lemongrass + 1 drop orange.
- Cool citrus: equal drops of all three for an all-round pick-me-up.
Safety notes
Pure oils deserve respect. Keep these points in mind:
- Always patch-test a diluted blend on your inner arm before wider skin use.
- Never apply undiluted oil directly to skin, and keep it away from eyes and mucous membranes.
- Citrus oils like orange can increase sensitivity to sunlight \u2014 avoid direct sun on freshly applied skin.
- Do not ingest these oils.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. If you are pregnant, nursing or have a health condition, consult a qualified practitioner first.
- Diffuse in a ventilated space and take breaks rather than running a diffuser continuously.
Buying and storage tips
Store the bottles upright in a cool, dark place, tightly capped. Sunlight and heat degrade essential oils over time, so a cupboard or drawer works better than a sunny windowsill. The amber-style glass bottles help protect the contents, and the 10 ml size means you can finish each oil while it's fresh rather than storing large quantities for years. Azlok's Earthy set is a sensible way to keep three commonly used oils on hand without overspending.
