How do I use afternoon picnic in the park in a diffuser?

Add Sweet Orange 4 · Lime 2 · Jasmine 2 · Lavender 1 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 sweet orange?

Swap sweet orange for lemon or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use afternoon picnic in the park?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Afternoon picnic in the park · Sweet Orange, Lime, Jasmine blend

Twelve drops of sweet orange open cheerful like a fruit basket on a checkered blanket, lime adds a cool tartness, jasmine is sweet like flowering trees in the park, and lavender keeps the scent relaxed. Perfect for afternoon picnics or bringing outdoor vibes inside. Premix the 24-drop batch; if using a roller bottle, apply in the late afternoon since citrus oils are phototoxic.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Jasmine (white-floral, sweet, heady and alluring); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
