balcony full of potted plants

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-0268


A balcony crowded with potted plants, watered every morning. Ylang-ylang, rosemary and cedarwood share equal drops: sweet yellow flowers, green, sharp herb leaves and dry wood. The scent is like a little garden that's just been watered, perfect for a balcony or a living room facing the garden. Place the diffuser near the balcony door and turn it on while you water the plants and clear away dry leaves.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
