Twelve drops of cypress open with cool green needles, clean like a forest after rain; eight drops of geranium close with a soft green rose note. Good for a workspace late in the afternoon or the bedroom after your shift. This amount is for a big room; for a small room, cut it down to about half.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
