How do I use the “po mu cabin by the garden” blend in a diffuser?

Add Po Mu 3 · Citronella 2 · Tea Tree 1 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 Po Mu?

Swap Po Mu for cedarwood or sandalwood — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When does the “po mu cabin by the garden” blend work best?

Diffuse it on the porch, the balcony or in a living room with the doors open in the early evening, when you want to sit outside a little longer.

Po mu cabin by the garden · Po Mu, Citronella blend

Sharp citronella with resinous wood; a wooden house by the garden.

Po mu wood leads with warm resin, citronella brings bold grass, and tea tree finishes clean and dry. It keeps a cosy woody character, recalling the porch of a wooden house by a highland garden, evening mist blurring the fence. Lovely on a porch, a wood-decked balcony or a living room open to the yard. Run the diffuser from dusk for about 30 minutes; for more freshness, add a drop of citronella.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Po Mu (sweet, resinous and slightly spicy, a very grounded Vietnamese wood) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
