How do I use fresh flowers on the table in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Geranium 3 · Lemongrass 2 · Cedarwood 1 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 lavender?

Swap lavender for ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.

When is the best time to use fresh flowers on the table?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Fresh flowers on the table · Lavender, Geranium, Lemongrass blend

You just arranged a vase of flowers on the table, and the whole room seems to perk up. Lavender and geranium split five drops each for a soft base of purple flowers and rose; lemongrass slips in a fresh lemony-grass note like freshly cut stems, and cedarwood lines the bottom with dry wood. Good for the living room on Saturday morning, curtains just opened. If lemongrass feels a bit sharp, cut it to two drops.

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); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

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.
