Tet is almost here · Mandarin, Holy Basil, Star Anise blend

Sweet mandarin, anise and vanilla with a bit of spice, like a candied-fruit tray.

Tet, the Lunar New Year, is almost here, so let's celebrate: sweet mandarin leads like a plate of candied fruit, holy basil and star anise add a bit of warm spice, and vanilla is sweet and soft. Lively and cozy, great for the living room, the kitchen while making candied fruit, or the entryway at year's end. Let the diffuser run while you clean for Tet; for more sweetness, 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. Holy basil (warm and spicy with a clove-like edge); star anise (sweet and warm, reminiscent of pho broth and Tet sweets) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

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