How do I use the “porch after dinner” blend in a diffuser?

Add Eucalyptus 4 · Rosemary 3 · Lemongrass 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 eucalyptus?

Swap eucalyptus for tea tree or clary sage — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: tea tree is green, medicinal and clean.

When does the “porch after dinner” 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.

Porch after dinner · Eucalyptus, Rosemary blend

Eucalyptus opens cool as the first breeze of the evening; rosemary follows with a sharp green herbal note; lemongrass leaves a fresh, tangy finish. Made for the moment the dinner table is cleared and the whole family drags chairs out to the porch on hot summer nights. Run the diffuser after dinner for about 30 minutes; keep it away from little children, as eucalyptus and rosemary are fairly strong.

How it unfolds

On opening. Eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) 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.

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
