Know before you buy
Simply pour a few drops of the included 15ml oil directly onto the volcanic basalt rocks. The porous nature of the stone will absorb the fragrance and slowly diffuse it into your space.
The duration depends on how much oil you apply and the airflow in your room. Because the fragrance is highly concentrated, a few drops can provide a lingering scent for several days, and you can refresh the rocks as needed.
The hand-hammered iron vessel is sturdy and stable, but it is recommended to place it on a coaster or tray to protect delicate surfaces from potential oil residue or the weight of the metal.
While you can technically use other oils, it is highly recommended to use Mad et Len refills to ensure the integrity of the scent and to avoid clogging the porous basalt rocks with synthetic additives.
Spiruelle is a complex, aromatic blend featuring fresh notes of mint and orange blossom grounded by the herbal, slightly bitter edge of wormwood. It offers a balanced, sophisticated fragrance that feels both clean and earthy.
Yes, the entire product, including the fragrance formulation, is vegan and cruelty-free. Mad et Len uses high-quality essential oils derived from flowers, woods, and spices without any animal-derived ingredients.
