How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rise 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. 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.
