First walk. The air still cold, the dog ahead.
Petitgrain and rosemary together do the cognitive lift; neither alone gets there. Frankincense at six keeps it meditative rather than jittery. No lavender on purpose — it would soften the alertness.
You close the door, the dog already ahead of you at the gate, and everything's green and damp from the night — so the smell should match: bright, sharp, clean. That's the margin of the morning, the clear space you get before the screen.
