A balance of soothing and alert, fitting both the living room and grown-up bedrooms. Run the diffuser at dusk, then move it into the bedroom about 20 minutes before bed.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony) rise 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. 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.
