Coffee, orange and warm spice; up and running.

This morning needs a boost: cheerful sweet orange leads, holy basil is warm and spicy, and one drop of roasted coffee has you up and running. A warm scent full of energy, great for the kitchen, the breakfast table or your desk at the start of the day. Start the diffuser while you brew real coffee; holy basil is strong, so in a small room reduce it to one drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Holy basil (warm and spicy with a clove-like edge) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Coffee (dark-roasted and warm) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
