Lime-zesty commute · Lemon, Lime, Cinnamon blend

Heading to work bright and zesty even though it's gray outside with a light drizzle. Lemon and lime, two drops each, create two layers of fresh tang, one sunny yellow and one sharp green, while a single drop of cinnamon scatters a warm, sweet spice at the end. Great for a desk in the morning or your own kitchen. Cinnamon is quite strong, so stick to exactly one drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) 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.
