Kept a plant alive · Lavender, Lime, Basil blend

For the first time ever, you've kept a succulent alive, and that deserves a celebration. Lavender and lime, two drops each, plus basil and geranium, one drop each: purple florals, green tartness, spicy-sweet leaves and green rose. The scent is like a little garden corner out on the balcony. Great for rooms full of plants; it's best switched on right after watering.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
