How do I use the “bamboo daybed in the summer yard” blend in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Lemon Eucalyptus 2 · Patchouli 1 · Cajeput 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 lavender?

Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.

When does the “bamboo daybed in the summer yard” 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 daybed in the summer yard · Lavender blend

Lavender makes up most of the blend, a soft, lightly sweet floral layer. Lemon eucalyptus brings a fresh zesty note, cajeput adds a familiar warm coolness like the oil bottle at grandma's, and patchouli holds a deep, damp-earth base. It recalls summer nights on a bamboo daybed in the yard, a palm fan swaying. This is a large-bottle recipe; add 6 to 8 drops per session and run the diffuser 30 minutes before bed.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

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