Citronella and cedarwood split the main role, bold grass resting on warm, dry wood, while patchouli lines the bottom with thick, damp earth. A slightly deeper scent, good for an evening home office or a living room with lots of wooden furniture. Run the diffuser in 30-minute bursts; for a lighter version in small rooms, cut patchouli to 1 drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
