car baked at noon

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · Minty · code BL-2489


The car sat in the sun all morning, and opening the door lets out a wave of heat and hot plastic. A 1-1-1 ratio keeps it light: sweet-cool spearmint, cheerful sweet orange and lavender to soften the finish. Drip it onto a wooden vent clip or a car diffuser; just 3 drops is enough for a tight space. Air the heat out for a minute first so the scent does not get stewed.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
