pomelo on mosquito duty

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-3191


Sharp lemony-grass rounded out by pomelo; the house smells great, mosquitoes stay away.

Pomelo knows how to shoo mosquitoes too: pomelo peel rounds out the scent, palmarosa and lemon eucalyptus bring a sharp lemongrass-like note, and tea tree is clean and dry. The home smells great while mosquitoes keep away. Great for the bedroom, living room or porch in the evening. Start the diffuser at dusk, close the window screens and clear any standing water.

How it unfolds

On opening. Pomelo (bittersweet and fragrant, very Vietnamese); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note) 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.
