Plastic stools, a glass of iced tea, a Saigon afternoon. Three drops of lemongrass are fresh like just-bruised stalks, and two drops of basil add the sweet, spicy note of the herb plate on the table. This two-oil blend feels very Vietnamese, perfect for a balcony, a rooftop or a living room with the doors open. Tip: switch it on at sunset; lemongrass also helps outdoor spaces smell clean and pleasant.

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
