A cotton ball that smiles · Sweet Orange, Lavender, Blue Chamomile blend

Sweet orange, lavender and blue chamomile split it evenly at four drops each, soft and fluffy like a cotton ball. Cheerful sweet orange opens first, then lavender and blue chamomile settle in with sweet, slightly herbal meadow flowers. This scent is very gentle, great for a child's bedroom, the living room in the evening, or days when you're feeling irritable. A low diffuser setting is just right.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); blue chamomile (deeply herbal, bittersweet and a little smoky) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
