How do I use the “garden hammock chill” blend in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 3 · Lemongrass 3 · Eucalyptus 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 rosemary or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When does the “garden hammock chill” 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.

Garden hammock chill · Citronella, Lemongrass blend

A hammock strung between two trees, swaying just as the sky turns dark. Citronella leads, deep and slightly sweet like dry grass, lemongrass sharper and tangier, and eucalyptus at the end spreads a clear coolness on the breeze. Simple and very outdoorsy, for evenings when you do absolutely nothing. Put the diffuser on a stool beside the hammock and run it for about 20 minutes; in a breezy spot, add a few more drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) 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.

Skin irritant

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