How do I use the “porch breeze recharge” blend in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 4 · Lavender 2 · Spearmint 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 rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When does the “porch breeze recharge” 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 breeze recharge · Citronella, Lavender blend

A long day has left you completely drained, and all you want is to sit still on the porch in the breeze. Citronella takes the biggest share, deep and slightly sweet like dry grass, while lavender and spearmint split the rest: gentle flowers and a sweet coolness like mint candy. Relaxing and quietly reviving at the same time. Set the diffuser on the porch step, run it for about 20 minutes and take a few slow breaths.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) 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.
