The Hills — Garden Green & Herbal Diffuser Oil Refill

Where to use this green herbal diffuser oil

Home offices, hallways and kitchens. It is the best desk fragrance in the range by some distance — a green herbal diffuser oil this quiet does not compete for attention while you are working, and the tea note keeps a small room from feeling stale by mid-afternoon.

In a kitchen the citrus does useful work against cooking smells without leaving anything sweet behind. In a hallway it reads as tidy rather than perfumed, which is the right note for the first thing a visitor smells.

Is The Hills right for you?

Yes, if you work from home, share a space with someone who dislikes strong scent, or want something you can run all day without noticing it. Yes, too, if you like tea fragrances — there are not many done properly, and this one is honest about what it is.

No, if you want a room to smell of something the moment you walk in. It will not do that. The Kupa is the answer there: green fruit, mint and lemon over lavender and jasmine, with sandalwood, cypress and oakmoss underneath — far more happening, and much more presence in a large room. The Luck sits between the two, clover and bergamot over nasturtium and orchid, greener and a little more floral.

How to use it

This is a concentrated oil for cold-air diffusion. It is not for reed diffusers, candles or wax burners — heat will flatten the tea note completely. Because the blend is light, be generous: four or five drops in The Wisp Mini on a desk, and don't be surprised if you want more. The Wisp Fragrance System will run it across a floor, though it is at its best in one room.

The 10ml bottle fits the Neom Pod Mini. A few drops on a Wisp Aroma Stone works well in a car — it is alert without being sharp.

Good to know

Hand-bottled in Nottingham in 10ml, 50ml and 125ml. A 50ml lasts roughly thirty days at standard use. Vegan and never tested on animals. Free UK delivery over £60, dispatched within one to two working days.

If you already own something heavy — a leather or an amber — this is the green herbal diffuser oil to keep next to it for daytime. Two very different registers, one of each, covers most of a week.
