Sweet with a minty kick · Vanilla, Peppermint, Lavender blend

Vanilla, peppermint and lavender at three drops each: creamy sweet, cool tingle and soft florals. Together they are like a cream-filled mint candy, sweet and cool at once, a real delight for the nose. Good for the living room or desk on winter afternoons when you need to stay sharp. The sweet spot is right after lunch; for a warmer version on cold days, cut peppermint to 2 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
