Mosquitoes accept defeat · Citronella, Sweet Orange, Lavender blend

Nine drops split into three neat parts: grassy citronella, cheerful sweet orange like a freshly peeled fruit and gentle lavender at the end. A friendly, youthful scent for a student room or small living room. Turn on the diffuser in the early evening and pull the window screens at the same time; add 1 drop of sweet orange for a happier mood, or 1 drop of lavender to help you sleep.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
