garden wedding guard

4 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Minty · code BL-2648


Four oils at ten drops each: cool peppermint, sharp green rosemary, bold grassy citronella and fresh, tangy lemongrass. Clean and clear, not sweet, and it never overpowers the wedding flowers or the food. Great for evening garden weddings or birthday parties. Place a few diffusers around the edges of the party, away from the buffet and flower tables, and switch them on 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.


FAQ

How do I use garden wedding guard 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 is the best time to use garden wedding guard?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
