Add Cypress 1 · Bergamot 1 · Tea Tree 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Hold-your-breath shoe rack · Cypress, Bergamot, Tea Tree blend

If you have to hold your breath to open the shoe cabinet, something needs to happen now. Cypress, bergamot and tea tree, one drop each: green wood, elegant citrus and clean greens. Put all three on a cotton ball and set it in a corner of the shoe cabinet. Replace the cotton each week, and set your shoes out in the sun whenever you get the chance.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer 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.
