How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) 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.
