picking greens in the garden

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · Minty · code BL-2603


You smell it the moment you reach the vegetable beds: soft lavender, then rosemary with sharp green leaves, and peppermint closing with a cool tingle. It blends so naturally into the home garden, as if the herb beds themselves were giving off scent. Take it out in the late afternoon, when mosquitoes start hiding under the leaves. Dilute and spray on gloves, hat and hems, not directly on greens you are about to pick.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); peppermint (cool, sharp 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.

FAQ

How do I use picking greens in the garden in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 4 · Rosemary 3 · Peppermint 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 lavender?
Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use picking greens in the garden?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
