How do I use sun-crisp laundry in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 3 · Lime 2 · Rosemary 2 · Basil 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.

What can I use instead of lemon?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use sun-crisp laundry?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Sun-crisp laundry · Lemon, Lime, Rosemary blend

Who else loves the smell of shirts just pulled off the line after a blazing sunny day? Lemon and lime bring crisp brightness, rosemary adds a dry herbal note and basil finishes lightly green. Lovely for the laundry room, the folding corner, or the bedroom on rainy days when clothes dry indoors. Put 2–3 drops on a cotton towel in the dryer, or diffuse while you fold.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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.

Method
