mosquito lockdown

3 oils · Floral · Minty · Woody · code BL-2595


Geranium and cedarwood share the lead, green rose resting on warm, dry wood; peppermint slips in with a cool tingle to keep things alert. An elegant scent with little grassiness, good for a home office or reading room. Switch it on when the lights come on; add 1 drop of cedarwood for more wood, or 1 drop of peppermint for more cool.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rises 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. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use mosquito lockdown in a diffuser?
Add Geranium 4 · Cedarwood 4 · Peppermint 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 geranium?
Swap geranium for lavender or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: lavender is floral-herbal, clean and soothing.

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