Coriander, up so early · Coriander, Lemon, Rosemary blend

Coriander seed gives a sweet, warm, slightly spicy scent like freshly toasted spices, then lemon slides in to brighten everything, and rosemary settles with a touch of green. It's a slightly unusual blend, but a charming one, great for the kitchen while you make breakfast or a small dining table. Switch on the diffuser as you light the stove. If you love spice, add 1 more drop of coriander; if you like it fresh, add 1 drop of lemon.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice) 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.
