shoe rack, smell-free

5 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2430


The bad smell is gone, now there's only the scent of lemongrass. Citronella, rosemary and lemongrass split two drops each, warm-rich grass, herbs and fresh grass, while tea tree and lavender add a drop each for clean greens and softness. Works in the living room, kitchen or bathroom. Run the diffuser for 20 minutes after cleaning, and the shoe rack corner will smell fresh again.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
