dōTERRA PastTense® Essential Oil Blend - 10ml
PastTense blends nine oils into one 10ml roll-on — Wintergreen, Lavender, Peppermint, Frankincense, Cilantro, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Basil and Rosemary — already mixed with fractionated coconut oil, ready to roll straight onto skin.
The aroma is cool and herbaceous rather than sweet — wintergreen and peppermint lead with a sharp, minty edge, cilantro, basil and rosemary add a green, herb-garden character, and lavender, frankincense, marjoram and roman chamomile settle in underneath as a softer, rounder base.
It's a roll-on rather than a dropper bottle, so there's nothing to measure out. Many people keep one in a desk drawer or a bag, rolling it onto the back of the neck or the shoulders as part of a daily routine.

Cool and herbaceous, wintergreen and peppermint leading with a sharp, minty edge, and a green, herb-garden base from cilantro, basil and rosemary underneath.

- Roll a little onto your palms, cup your hands and breathe in for a direct hit of the aroma.
- On skin
- Roll onto the back of the neck or the shoulders — no extra carrier oil needed.

Safety
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor's care, speak to your practitioner before use. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears and sensitive areas. This roll-on comes pre-diluted, but very sensitive skin may prefer an extra drop of carrier oil first.

Common questions
What does PastTense smell like?
Cool and herbaceous, with wintergreen and peppermint leading, a green, herb-garden lift from cilantro, basil and rosemary, and a softer base underneath from lavender, frankincense, marjoram and roman chamomile.
Why does it have so many herb oils in it?
Nine in total, which is more than most blends in the range — the mix of mint, herb and resin oils is what gives it that distinctive cool, green character.
Where do people usually keep this one?
A desk drawer or a bag are both common, since the rollerball travels well and there's no dropper to hold steady.
Is it pre-diluted?
Yes — it's already mixed with fractionated coconut oil, so it's ready to roll straight onto skin.
What can I layer it with?
A citrus oil like wild orange or lemon brightens the herbaceous notes if you want something a little fresher.
