porch at night vibes

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2634


A warm porch light, a mug of ginger tea and the steady chirp of insects. Citronella opens bold and grassy, lavender and geranium sit equally in the middle, soft florals and green rose, and a drop of sweet orange makes the tail cheerful. Set the diffuser on the porch step and switch it on at lights-on; on chilly nights, add 1 drop of sweet orange for extra warmth.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
