Rug overdue for a wash · Pine, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus blend

A rug that hasn't been washed in ages starts to smell. Pine leads with fresh resinous forest, cedarwood brings dry wood, eucalyptus is clear and cool, and peppermint adds a cold accent. Vacuum thoroughly first, then mix the blend into a spray bottle with water and a little alcohol and lightly mist the rug. Let it air dry, and remember to get the rug washed soon.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
