How do I use the “back-porch lullaby” blend in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 5 · Geranium 3 · Patchouli 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 lavender?

Swap lavender for ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.

When does the “back-porch lullaby” blend work best?

Diffuse it on the porch, the balcony or in a living room with the doors open in the early evening, when you want to sit outside a little longer.

Back-porch lullaby · Lavender, Geranium blend

An evening breeze drifts across the back porch, the baby sways in the hammock to a lullaby, and everyone lowers their voices. Lavender leads gently, geranium adds a soft green-rose touch, and a little patchouli gives a warm, deep, lasting base. Three oils, round and smooth, nothing sharp. Place the diffuser a few steps from the hammock and run it on intermittent mode for about 20 minutes; around babies, halve the drops.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
