How do I use mosquitoes fear the woods in a diffuser?

Add Po Mu 3 · Citronella 2 · Tea Tree 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 Po Mu?

Swap Po Mu for cedarwood or sandalwood — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

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

Mosquitoes fear the woods · Po Mu, Citronella, Tea Tree blend

Sharp citronella with resinous wood; nice for people, scary for mosquitoes.

Sharp, grassy citronella, warm resinous po mu wood and clean, dry tea tree: people find it fragrant, mosquitoes find it off-putting. The scent keeps a cozy woody character instead of smelling like incense. Great for the bedroom, the porch or a wooden house by the garden. Start the diffuser at dusk; add one drop of citronella during the rainy season when mosquitoes are everywhere.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Po Mu (sweet, resinous and slightly spicy, a very grounded Vietnamese wood) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
