rooftop after an evening shower

5 oils · Floral · Herbal · Minty · Woody · code BL-2515


The afternoon rain has just stopped, the rooftop is still puddled, and the air has cooled right down. Peppermint opens cool, eucalyptus follows clear and airy, patchouli in the middle smells of damp earth that suits the moment, and tea tree and geranium close green and clean with a hint of flowers. Place the diffuser under the awning or beside a big planter and run it for about 20 minutes while you hang laundry or sit in the breeze.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

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

FAQ

How do I use the “rooftop after an evening shower” blend in a diffuser?
Add Peppermint 3 · Eucalyptus 2 · Patchouli 2 · Tea Tree 1 · Geranium 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of peppermint?
Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.
When does the “rooftop after an evening shower” blend work best?
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.
