basement parking garage

5 oils · Floral · Herbal · Minty · Woody · code BL-2515


The basement garage is damp, dark and usually has mosquitoes waiting. Peppermint opens very cool and clear, eucalyptus and tea tree keep it airy, and patchouli and geranium bring damp earth and florals so the scent lasts longer. Great mixed into a handheld spray before you go down for the car, or with a few drops on a cloth in the trunk. Spray clothing only, never your face.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
