evening walk around the block

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-0208


An evening stroll around the neighborhood, past a clump of lemongrass and someone's flowering trellis. Lemongrass and lavender share the main role equally: fresh green tang meets clean purple herbs, while one drop of ylang-ylang adds a sweet nighttime floral note. The scent is airy and pleasant, perfect for the living room once you're home. On summer evenings, crack a window open when running the diffuser so the lemongrass feels even fresher.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) 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.
