Sweet and mild, chilly day · Black Tea, Mandarin, Holy Basil blend

Warm mandarin tea with a clove-like spice, clean dry cedarwood.

Gentle and mild-mannered for a chilly day: black tea and mandarin create a warm mandarin tea scent, holy basil is spicy like clove, and cedarwood is dry and clean. Great for the home office, a reading nook or an afternoon tea table. Holy basil is quite strong, so keep it to exactly one drop; for a softer scent, add one drop of mandarin.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty); holy basil (warm and spicy with a clove-like edge) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

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