How it unfolds

On opening. Cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise 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.
