Betel wake-up call · Betel Leaf, Pomelo, Lemongrass blend

Cool sharp pomelo and lemongrass, spicy betel; awake like a cold-water splash.

As awake as if you just splashed cold water on your face: pomelo peel and lemongrass are cool and sharp, betel leaf is spicy, and cajeput adds airiness. Great for your desk in the morning, the car on a long drive or a study room at night. Run the diffuser for about 15 minutes whenever you feel sluggish; betel leaf is quite strong, so don't go above two drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Pomelo (bittersweet and fragrant, very Vietnamese); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Betel leaf (green and peppery, a little smoky) 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.
