Rough week, still sleeping · Mandarin, Cypress, Palmarosa blend

Three notes split evenly, three personalities: juicy, sweet mandarin, green, woody cypress like conifer branches, and palmarosa adding a rosy note mixed with fresh grass. The scent is unusual but pleasant, perfect for anyone who wants a break from the familiar lavender. The blend suits a bedroom full of plants. For something softer, cut cypress to 2 drops and let mandarin and palmarosa lead.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood); palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) 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.
