Windows open after a rainy week · Tea Tree blend

A whole week of steady rain with the windows shut, and the house needs a refresh. Tea tree leads, green and clean, lemon brings brightness, and rosemary and thyme stand side by side holding a dry, slightly warm herbal layer. When the sun comes back, change the bedding, throw the windows open and run the diffuser in the living room for about 30 minutes. The air indoors feels airy and fresh again.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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