Lemon takes on mildew · Lemon, Thyme, Tea Tree blend

Bathrooms and wardrobes in humid season need this scent most. Drying surfaces and ventilating are still the main steps; the blend just makes the space smell cleaner.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) 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.

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lemon and Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Thyme can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
