Shivering home from the rain · Lavender, Peppermint, Roman Chamomile blend

Lavender makes up most of it, so the scent opens soft and soothing; peppermint and Roman chamomile sit equally, cool tingle meeting sweet apple; tea tree and lemon add a clean brightness. Made for evenings when you come home from the rain chilled to the bone after a long day on your feet. Mix 3–4 drops of the blend with a spoonful of salt or carrier oil before adding it to a basin of warm water, since essential oils do not dissolve in water.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); Roman chamomile (like ripe apple and dry hay, soft and mellow) 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.
