Add Betel Leaf 2 · Lemon Leaf 2 · Lime 2 · Spearmint 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

Summer in the Mekong Delta · Betel Leaf, Lemon Leaf, Lime blend

Spicy-cool green leaves, tart lime, like an orchard breeze on a summer noon.

Summer in the Mekong Delta, an orchard breeze at noon: betel leaf and lemon leaf are green, spicy and cool, lime is tart and fresh, and spearmint adds a sweet minty breath. Great for the living room, the porch or a nap room. Start the diffuser while you lie in a hammock listening to southern folk music, or add a drop of spearmint if the air feels extra muggy.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Betel leaf (green and peppery, a little smoky) 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

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lime can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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