Cozy monsoon evenings · Black Tea, Po Mu, Bergamot blend

Earl Grey meets sweet resinous po mu wood, a light frankincense smoke like a fireplace.

Like a cup of bergamot black tea set beside a wood fireplace: warm black tea, sweet resinous po mu wood, lightly bright bergamot and frankincense with a hint of hazy smoke. Great for the living room when the monsoon winds arrive, a wood-toned apartment or the home office in the afternoon. Add 5 drops to the diffuser, turn on a warm lamp, wrap up in a light blanket and open a thick book.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Po Mu (sweet, resinous and slightly spicy, a very grounded Vietnamese wood); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
