How do I use balcony wind-down in a diffuser?

Add Lemongrass 4 · Peppermint 4 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 lemongrass?

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

Balcony wind-down · Lemongrass, Peppermint blend

Unwinding on the balcony after work, cool breeze, green plants. Lemongrass and peppermint are nearly equal: fresh green like lemongrass leaves and icy cool. Set the diffuser in a covered corner of the balcony, out of strong wind. The lemongrass scent also makes the balcony more pleasant in the evening; use 5 drops each time from the ready-mix bottle.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) 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.

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.
