white tea at porch twilight

3 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Tea · code BL-3062


Bold citronella, lemon, soft white tea; a green scent for the porch at dusk.

White tea lays a soft, delicate base, citronella brings deep dry grass, and a single drop of lemon brightens the opening. Gentle and pleasant rather than heavy, it suits a porch, balcony or a desk by an open window at twilight. Run the diffuser for about 30 minutes as the lights come on; for more freshness, add 1 drop of lemon, for more depth, 1 drop of white tea.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper) 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.
