Suddenly feel like cleaning your room? Seize it while the inspiration is still hot. Palmarosa and spearmint go hand in hand, one sweet grassy with a hint of rose, the other sweet and cool like candy, while tea tree holds a clean green base. Turn on the diffuser and set a 15-minute timer for the bedroom or that messy corner of the desk. However much you get done, it counts.

How it unfolds

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) 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.
