Grassy slap for mosquitoes · Citronella, Lavender, Peppermint blend

Citronella hits first, bold and blunt; lavender catches it with soft florals; peppermint and tea tree finish in equal parts, cool and green-clean. Quite strong, good for large living rooms or porches. Start the diffuser when the lights come on, placed near the door; for bedrooms, cut peppermint and tea tree to 3 drops each.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.
