How do I use end-of-day unwind in a diffuser?

Add Palmarosa 4 · Lemongrass 3 · Basil 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 palmarosa?

Swap palmarosa for lavender or geranium — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

When is the best time to use end-of-day unwind?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning — diffuse in short 20–30 minute runs.

End-of-day unwind · Palmarosa, Lemongrass, Basil blend

At the end of the day, let all the tiredness go with a lovely lemongrass scent. Palmarosa leads, soft and sweet, lemongrass follows fresher and sharper, and basil adds a sweet-spicy herbal note that's very pleasant. Great for the living room after work or while you cook dinner. For a little extra coolness, add 1 drop of peppermint to the diffuser.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) form the body of the scent and stay 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.

Safety

Skin irritant

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

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
