How do I use the “hillside pine cabin” blend in a diffuser?

Add Pine 3 · Citronella 3 · Lemon 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 pine?

Swap pine for cedarwood or sandalwood — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When does the “hillside pine cabin” 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.

Hillside pine cabin · Pine, Citronella blend

Pine and citronella share the opening, cool resin blending with dry, bold grass; lemon eucalyptus follows with a crisp, chilly citrus edge. Neat and alert, it recalls the porch of a wooden cabin on a hill just after sunset, with mist settling over the valley. Run the diffuser on the porch or in a living room with the doors open for about 30 minutes; for a softer tail, cut lemon eucalyptus to 1 drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk) 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.
