How do I use the “garden wedding at dusk” blend in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 2 · Rosemary 2 · Citronella 2 · Lemongrass 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When does the “garden wedding at dusk” 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 wedding at dusk · Peppermint, Rosemary blend

Four oils, ten drops each: cool peppermint, sharp green rosemary, bold grassy citronella and fresh tangy lemongrass. Clean and clear, not sweet, and never overpowering the wedding flowers or the food. Made for garden weddings and birthday parties just as the string lights come on. Place a few diffusers around the edge of the party, away from the food and flower tables, and start them 30 minutes before guests arrive.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) 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.

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.
