How do I use night run, no bites in a diffuser?

Add Tea Tree 2 · Lavender 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Citronella 1 · Eucalyptus 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 tea tree?

Swap tea tree for rosemary or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use night run, no bites?

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

Night run, no bites · Tea Tree, Lavender, Lemongrass blend

Five oils in nearly equal parts make for a well-rounded scent: green tea tree, soft lavender and fresh lemongrass up front, then citronella and eucalyptus push in bold and cool notes. Made for evening joggers in the park, when the paths are shaded by trees. Dilute into a small spray and mist your shirt and socks before your run; the scent fades after about an hour, so bring it along to reapply.

How it unfolds

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

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.

Skin irritant

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