Just a whisper of scent · Lavender, Cedarwood, Lemon blend

No need for a strong scent, just a whisper is enough. Soft lavender goes first, cedarwood and lemon share the middle, dry wood and bright freshness, and a single drop of bergamot closes with an elegant citrus note. Eight drops for a room of about 20m², with the diffuser on a gentle setting. Very pleasant for scent-sensitive people and shared workspaces.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
