A clean lemongrass-lemon scent; people love it, mosquitoes keep away.

Sit on the balcony without worrying about mosquitoes: lemon leaf and citronella give a clean lemongrass-like scent, while tea tree and rosemary add a dry green note. People love it, mosquitoes keep their distance. Great for balconies, porches and rooftops in the evening. Place the diffuser near your seat and switch it on as soon as dusk falls.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
