rattan chair, green tea

3 oils · Citrus · Tea · code BL-3228


Lush green lemongrass and lemon leaf beside a cup of green tea.

Delicate green tea forms the base, with lush lemongrass and lemon leaf layered on top. Light and never heavy, like leaning back in a rattan chair on the balcony, listening to the traffic fade as the street lights come on. Lovely on a balcony, a porch or a bedroom with the window open. Run the diffuser from dusk for about 30 minutes; for more freshness, add a drop of lemongrass, for more softness, a drop of green tea.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Green tea (fresh, a little grassy and clean) 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.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Diffuse it on the porch, the balcony or in a living room with the doors open in the early evening, when you want to sit outside a little longer.
