night fishing with dad

6 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2643


Six oils at five drops each, like six tools packed neatly in dad's tackle box: citronella and lemongrass for bold, fresh grass, cool eucalyptus, soft lavender, warm herbal thyme and dry cedarwood as the base. Dilute into a spray bottle and mist around the folding chair, the flashlight and your hems before settling in at the lakeside after dark.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); thyme (warm, dry and herbal with a touch of spice) form the body of the scent and stay 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.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass and Thyme can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use night fishing with dad in a diffuser?
Add Citronella 1 · Cedarwood 1 · Lemongrass 1 · Lavender 1 · Eucalyptus 1 · Thyme 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 night fishing with dad?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
