An outdoor date where you keep bending down to scratch your ankles? Major points lost. Geranium opens with a sweet green rose, lemongrass and lemon eucalyptus make it bright and cool, and nobody would guess it is meant to keep mosquitoes away. Dilute into a small spray and mist your skirt, pant hems or bag 10 minutes before you leave. For a more feminine take, add 3 more drops of geranium.

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) 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.
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.
