Sneakers that don't stink, so you can confidently take them off anywhere. Icy peppermint leads, tea tree is sharp and green, and lime closes with a slightly bitter citrus peel. Mix this bottle into a spray bottle with water and a little alcohol, spray inside your shoes every night and let them air dry. Take the insoles out to dry separately, and your sneakers will stay fresher longer.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
