bug-free and fragrant

2 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-2646


Just two oils, two drops each: lemon eucalyptus for a cool lemony-grassy scent and lavender to soften and round it out. An easy-to-remember basic recipe for diffuser beginners or small spaces like a rental or home office. Run the diffuser for 20 minutes at dusk; for more florals, raise lavender to 3 drops, and for more cool, do the opposite.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rises 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. 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.

FAQ

How do I use bug-free and fragrant in a diffuser?
Add Lemon Eucalyptus 2 · Lavender 2 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 lemon eucalyptus?
Swap lemon eucalyptus for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use bug-free and fragrant?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
