How do I use new year, bad luck out in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 4 · Sandalwood 4 · Neroli 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.

Swap citronella for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
