A bathroom that smells amazing · Lavender, Lemon, Citronella blend

A bathroom that smells this good makes everyone want to linger a little longer. Lavender, lemon and citronella make up most of it, gentle, fresh and warmly grassy, then bergamot and cinnamon add a touch of elegant citrus and warm spice at the end. This recipe makes a very large batch that lasts a whole year if kept tightly sealed. Each time, just 3–4 drops in a corner of the shower floor or a mini diffuser.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) form the body of the scent and stay 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 and Bergamot can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
