minimalist studio guard

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2594


Three equal parts, three clear personalities: green-rose geranium, bold hay-like citronella and cool, airy eucalyptus. Not sweet, not too sharp, great for a minimalist living room or a working studio where you want the air to feel calm and uncluttered. Mix a bottle ahead and take 5 drops each time for the diffuser; if you prefer something more feminine, raise geranium to 12 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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.

FAQ

How do I use minimalist studio guard in a diffuser?
Add Geranium 3 · Citronella 3 · Eucalyptus 3 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.

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
