How do I use picnic without scratching in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 5 · Eucalyptus 3 · Rosemary 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 tea tree or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: tea tree is green, medicinal and clean.

When is the best time to use picnic without scratching?

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

Picnic without scratching · Citronella, Eucalyptus, Rosemary blend

A blanket on the grass, a basket of bread and a little spray in your bag. Citronella leads with bold grass, eucalyptus cools, and rosemary adds green herbs like the bushes in the park. Dilute into a spray and mist the blanket, basket edges and pant hems before sitting down, keeping it away from the food. For a softer version around small kids, reduce eucalyptus to 1 drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) 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.
