How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) form the body of the scent and stay 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.

Skin irritant

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