How do I use balcony chill, no bites in a diffuser?

Add White Tea 3 · Citronella 2 · Geranium 1 · Pomelo 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 white tea?

Swap white tea for black tea or green tea — same tea family. The blend will shift a little: black tea is steeped, warm and slightly malty.

When is the best time to use balcony chill, no bites?

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

Balcony chill, no bites · White Tea, Citronella, Geranium blend

Citronella, geranium, pomelo peel; bug-repelling yet garden-fragrant.

Sit on the balcony without chilling and swatting at the same time: grassy citronella, green-rosy geranium, fresh pomelo peel and softening white tea. It smells like a little garden, not like mosquito coils. Great for balconies, rooftops or the porch in the evening. Place the diffuser near your seat, and add one drop of citronella when it gets windy.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); pomelo (bittersweet and fragrant, very Vietnamese) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. White tea (light and clean with a floral whisper); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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.
