road trip backpack unpacked

6 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-0586


Back from a backpacking trip, dumping your bag in the middle of the room, gear still smelling of mountain wind. Geranium, juniper and tea tree lead with green rose, conifer needles and a clean, sharp streak; rosemary, Roman chamomile and lemon add green leaf, sweet apple and fresh peel. It's a big batch, 6 drops per use. Good for unpacking after a trip, windows open to air out the room.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow) 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.
