mountain tent night

4 oils · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2557


Citronella and cypress share the opening: bold grass wrapped in green needles. Eucalyptus and pine follow, cool and resinous, so the scent melts right into the mountain air. Take it trekking or on overnight tent trips. Put a few drops on the tent zipper, bug netting and your hood, but not on your sleeping bag, since essential oils can leave marks.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood); pine (green and resinous, like a forest walk) form the body of the scent and stay 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.

FAQ

How do I use mountain tent night in a diffuser?
Add Citronella 3 · Cypress 3 · Eucalyptus 1 · Pine 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 citronella?
Swap citronella for rosemary or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.
When is the best time to use mountain tent night?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
