rough road home for Tet

3 oils · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2791


Train tickets are hard to get and home is far, but you are going anyway. Cypress opens with green needles, while rosemary and juniper follow equally, sharp herbs meeting dry needle-wood. An alert scent for long journeys. Put 2 drops on your scarf or a wood block in your bag; at home, use the diffuser while you pack.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood); juniper (green and berry-like, with clean resinous wood) 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.
