After hot pot night · Tea Tree, Basil blend

Name: after hot pot night
Yield: 2 drops

Just two drops is enough to handle the hot pot smell clinging to your curtains. Tea tree gives a clean green note, and basil adds a sweet-spicy herbal touch, like a plate of fresh herbs next to the pot. This tiny recipe suits a mini diffuser; for a big living room, triple it. Pair it with open windows, the exhaust fan, and washing the tablecloth that same night.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
