Fresh the moment I wake · Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Juniper blend

Great for a bedroom or bathroom in the morning. Switch it on while you brush your teeth, and by the time you've washed your face your mind is ready.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood) 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.
