Sour lemon, sweet ending · Lemon, Sweet Orange, Peppermint blend

Sour lemon chases away the smells, sweet orange keeps the good scent around. Lemon opens bright and fresh, sweet orange adds warmth, and peppermint with eucalyptus leave a clear, cool breeze. After a party, the kitchen, dining room or living room all need it. Turn on the diffuser right after you clear the table; for something sweeter, add 1 drop of sweet orange.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) 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.
