Add Lime 5 · Eucalyptus 2 · Lemon 2 · Tea Tree 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

Locked up all week · Lime, Eucalyptus, Lemon blend

Back from a week-long work trip, and the house smells of stale, still air. Lime leads with fresh, slightly bitter peel, lemon adds brightness, and eucalyptus and tea tree follow to make the room airier and cleaner. First things first: open every door, switch on a fan, and only then run the diffuser for about 30 minutes. For the bedroom, skip the tea tree for a softer scent.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
