How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); peppermint (cool, sharp 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.
