mosquitoes permanently blocked

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2558


Cedarwood opens with dry wood, a bit like a freshly sharpened pencil, eucalyptus adds coolness, and geranium and sweet orange make the tail soft and sweet. The name sounds fierce, but the scent is warm and approachable, great for the living room or home office. Turn on the diffuser at dusk and close the screens; add 1 drop of sweet orange for a fresher version.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) 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. 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 mosquitoes permanently blocked in a diffuser?
Add Cedarwood 3 · Eucalyptus 2 · Geranium 2 · Sweet Orange 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 cedarwood?
Swap cedarwood for sandalwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: sandalwood is creamy, smooth and long-lasting.

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