Rattan chair on the evening porch · Lavender blend

A big ready-mixed bottle for evenings in the rattan chair on the porch. Lavender opens softly, palmarosa adds a floral, sweet-grass touch, patchouli and geranium deepen the scent into something warm and round, and tea tree keeps it all clean and tidy. Long-lasting, and it gets softer as the night goes on. Use 6 to 8 drops of the blend in a diffuser by the foot of the chair, starting it 15 minutes before you sit down.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
