Brick yard after the rain · Lemongrass blend

Lemongrass opens with zesty fresh grass, eucalyptus and peppermint follow with a broad cool layer, and a single drop of tea tree adds a sharp green finish. Cool, airy and clean, like a brick yard just after an evening shower, the smell of wet earth still rising. Run the diffuser in the living room with the door open for about 30 minutes.

How it unfolds

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

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.

Skin irritant

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