How do I use mood killer for mosquitoes in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 5 · Peppermint 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.

What can I use instead of citronella?

Swap citronella for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use mood killer for mosquitoes?

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

Mood killer for mosquitoes · Citronella, Peppermint blend

Just two oils, straightforward and strong: citronella warm and bold like hay in the fields, and peppermint rising cool the moment the diffuser starts. Made for big rooms, porches or rooftops that need a scent with some weight. For the bedroom, use a third of the recipe and switch it on before sleep; if peppermint keeps you too alert, cut it to 6 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); peppermint (cool, sharp 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.
