How do I use buzz-free and recharged in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 4 · Lavender 2 · Spearmint 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 citronella?

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

When is the best time to use buzz-free and recharged?

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.

Buzz-free and recharged · Citronella, Lavender, Spearmint blend

Citronella keeps the lead with warm, bold hay, while lavender and spearmint split the rest: one soft and floral, one sweet and cool. Good for bedrooms and living rooms during the worst mosquito weeks, when the buzzing alone wears you out. Diffuse about 30 minutes before bed with the screens shut; scent-sensitive folks can cut citronella to 10 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) 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. 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.
