How do I use home from the heat in a diffuser?

Add Geranium 5 · Lavender 2 · Palmarosa 1 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 geranium?

Swap geranium for ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.

When is the best time to use home from the heat?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Home from the heat · Geranium, Lavender, Palmarosa blend

Out in the sun all day, and you're ready to melt by the time you get home. Ten drops of geranium open with cool green rose like freshly watered leaves, lavender softens it, and palmarosa sprinkles in a little sweet grassy rose. The whole thing is cool on the eyes and nose, never heavy. Good for an air-conditioned bedroom after a summer noon. This amount is for a big room; a small room needs about half.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
