Camping minus the bites · Lemon Leaf, Cajeput, Lemon Eucalyptus blend

Medicinal-cool and tangy lemon; mosquitoes find their own way home.

Camping without mosquitoes bugging you: lemon leaf, cajeput and lemon eucalyptus in equal parts, minty-cool and lemony-tart. Great for a tent, a porch or the yard in the evening. Use a battery-powered diffuser or put a few drops on a cloth hung near the tent; add one drop of lemon eucalyptus when you are near a stream.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh); cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar); 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.
