Geranium on the railing · Geranium, Cedarwood blend

Geranium and cedarwood share the lead: soft green rose resting on warm dry wood. Peppermint adds a cool streak at the end for a more airy feel. Elegant and calm, it recalls a balcony railing lined with geranium pots, watching the sky turn violet after sunset. Run the diffuser 30 minutes in a bedroom or living room that opens to the balcony.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
