How do I use the “bamboo cot on a summer night” blend in a diffuser?

Add Cajeput 3 · Lemongrass 2 · Lemon Eucalyptus 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 cajeput?

Swap cajeput for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When does the “bamboo cot on a summer night” 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.

Bamboo cot on a summer night · Cajeput blend

Cajeput and lemongrass-lemon, cool for a bamboo cot on a summer night.

Cool cajeput leads, lemongrass brings a fresh tang, and lemon eucalyptus adds a bright, crisp finish. It recalls summer nights lying on a bamboo cot on the porch, a woven fan waving and the moon hanging above the areca palms. Lovely on a porch, in the garden or a ground-floor balcony. Run the diffuser from dusk for about 30 minutes, rest it, then run again before bed; for more coolness, add a drop of cajeput.

How it unfolds

On opening. Cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) 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.

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
