Guests arriving any minute · Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Patchouli blend

The doorbell is about to ring, and the living room has to smell nice. Roman chamomile, lavender and patchouli share equal drops: sweet, gentle floral tea, clean herbs and warm earth, while geranium adds a fresh green rose. The scent is warm and welcoming, not too bold, so everyone finds it pleasant. Start the diffuser 20 minutes before your guests are due, and switch it off when they arrive so the scent stays just right.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
