How do I use the “full yard party mode” blend in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 2 · Tea Tree 2 · Citronella 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Geranium 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 does the “full yard party mode” 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.

Full yard party mode · Lavender, Tea Tree blend

A weekend party in the yard: a long table, string lights, a small speaker, and a full crew of friends. Lavender, tea tree and citronella split the biggest share: soft flowers, green and clean, deep grass; lemongrass layers on freshness and geranium dots in a touch of green rose at the end. Strong and clear, enough to fill the whole yard. A big ready-mixed bottle; use 6 to 8 drops per diffuser and place two diffusers at either end of the yard.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise 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. 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.
