Lights off, moon on · Lavender, Cedarwood blend

Turn off every porch light to see the moon clearly. Lavender leads gently, cedarwood adds a warm dry wood base, and peppermint brings a little coolness to a muggy summer night. A slow, quiet scent for evenings in a folding chair on the balcony before bed. Run the diffuser for about 30 minutes; for a softer scent, reduce peppermint to 1 drop and add 2 more drops of lavender.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises 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.
