peaceful, no buzzing

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2639


Seven drops, three oils, one quiet evening. Geranium opens with a cool green rose, lavender follows softly, and citronella lines the base with just enough bold grass to remind you it is mosquito season. Good for bedrooms, reading corners or a small altar room. Run a mini diffuser 20 minutes before bed; for rooms over 20 m², double the recipe.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay 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.

FAQ

How do I use peaceful, no buzzing in a diffuser?
Add Geranium 3 · Lavender 2 · Citronella 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 geranium?
Swap geranium for ylang ylang or Roman chamomile — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: ylang ylang is rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral.
When is the best time to use peaceful, no buzzing?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
