How do I use all-grass lineup in a diffuser?

Add Palmarosa 6 · Citronella 1 · Lemongrass 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 palmarosa?

Swap palmarosa for lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use all-grass lineup?

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

All-grass lineup · Palmarosa, Citronella, Lemongrass blend

Three grassy siblings: palmarosa takes the lion's share with rose and sweet grass, while bold, warm citronella and fresh, tangy lemongrass stand behind. Familiar yet different, much softer than the usual grassy blends. Good for the living room, grown-up bedrooms and porches. Mix a bottle ahead and take 5 drops each time for the diffuser; for a fresher version, add 5 more drops of lemongrass.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) 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.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass 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.
