How do I use the “evening picnic on the lawn” blend in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 5 · Eucalyptus 3 · Rosemary 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 tea tree or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: tea tree is green, medicinal and clean.

When does the “evening picnic on the lawn” 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.

Evening picnic on the lawn · Citronella blend

Citronella opens with warm, bold grass, eucalyptus follows with a clear cool breeze, and rosemary closes with an alert, needle-like herbal trail. Green like a park lawn at dusk, a blanket spread out, food boxes open, waiting for the lights to come on. Run the diffuser 30 minutes in the living room before and after an outing, or set it on the porch when the family eats dinner outside.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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.
