washing curtains on the weekend

4 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2094


A room shut up for too long, dust and a damp smell clinging to the curtains. Rosemary and eucalyptus open with a cool, clean green rush, lemon brightens the space, and cypress leaves a fresh, airy wood note. Perfect for a deep-cleaning day of washing curtains and vacuuming. Run the diffuser for about 30 minutes once you're done, with the window cracked so the scent mingles with the breeze.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) 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.
