How do I use park date with the crush in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 3 · Peppermint 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Lavender 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 citronella?

Swap citronella for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When is the best time to use park date with the crush?

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

Park date with the crush · Citronella, Peppermint, Lemongrass blend

Citronella opens bold and grassy, peppermint and lemongrass follow with fresh coolness, and lavender keeps the finish soft, so you still smell nice sitting close to someone. Perfect for a date on a park bench or by the lake at night. Dilute into a mini spray and mist your pant hems, ankles and bag before leaving; skip your hair and collar if you two are about to sit really close.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) 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.

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.
