Mandarin segments in hand, movie on, blanket over your head. Eight drops of mandarin are sweet and juicy, and five drops of sweet orange round it out: a pure citrus blend that's cheerful and easygoing. Great for the bedroom or living room on weekend nights. Tip: switch on the diffuser before you start picking a movie; by the time you've chosen, the scent will have filled the room. In a small room, cut the mandarin to 5 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) 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.
