4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Woody · code BL-2585


Cedarwood builds a solid base of dry, clean wood like a newly built cabinet; lavender, lemongrass and rosemary split the top evenly with soft florals, fresh tang and green herbs. Good for large living rooms and homes with lots of wooden furniture. Turn on the diffuser near the front door right as it gets dark; for a fresher summer version, raise lemongrass to 7 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass 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 our house, no mosquitoes in a diffuser?
Add Cedarwood 3 · Lavender 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Rosemary 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.
When is the best time to use our house, no mosquitoes?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
