How do I use the “out in the yard for night air” blend in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 3 · Citronella 3 · Tea Tree 3 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When does the “out in the yard for night air” blend work best?

Diffuse it on the porch, the balcony or in a living room with the doors open in the early evening, when you want to sit outside a little longer.

Out in the yard for night air · Peppermint blend

Three oils, three drops each: peppermint opens with instant coolness, citronella follows with warm, bold grass, and tea tree closes with a sharp green note like leaves after rain. Neat, clean and awake, right for heading out to the yard for some night air after a shower. Set the diffuser on the porch or by the door and run it for 30 minutes early in the evening.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
