Back at the lodge after the trek

Lemon eucalyptus and geranium stand level at the opening, crisp citrusy grass meeting fresh green floral; lavender softens it and peppermint closes cool. It suits getting back to the lodge after a day of trekking, boots off on the wooden porch, watching mist fill the valley. Mix a bottle ahead and use 5 drops in a diffuser on the porch or in a living room with the doors open, for about 30 minutes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
