How do I use a message to mosquitoes in a diffuser?

Add Pine 3 · Citronella 3 · Lemon Eucalyptus 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of pine?

Swap pine for cedarwood or sandalwood — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use a message to mosquitoes?

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.

A message to mosquitoes · Pine, Citronella, Lemon Eucalyptus blend

Name: a message to mosquitoes
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 3 drops Pine essential oil; 3 drops Citronella essential oil; 2 drops Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil

Pine and citronella split the opening evenly, cool resin blended with bold hay; lemon eucalyptus follows with a crisp, cool lemony edge. A neat, alert scent for an apartment living room or a hillside vacation cabin. Turn on the diffuser at sunset and close the screen door; for a softer tail, reduce lemon eucalyptus to 1 drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk) 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.
