Betel leaf spring cleaning · Black Tea, Sweet Orange, Betel Leaf blend

Sweet orange tea, green spicy betel leaf and patchouli; chasing off stale smells.

The familiar smell of grandma's house: black tea and sweet orange are warm, betel leaf is green and spicy, and deep earthy patchouli helps chase away odd odors. Great for the living room, a family ancestral hall or a room full of old wooden furniture. Switch it on during the year-end cleanup; betel leaf is quite strong, so one drop is enough.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); betel leaf (green and peppery, a little smoky) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

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

Skin irritant

Betel Leaf can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
