porch study group

3 oils · Floral · Herbal · code BL-2554


Soft lavender, bold grassy citronella, green-clean tea tree, four drops of each. Not too harsh, so the whole group can gather around the porch table with zero complaints. Made for late-night exam cramming, laptops open and bubble tea everywhere. Put the diffuser upwind so the scent drifts across the table; for a big porch, use two diffusers with half the recipe each.

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.

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.

FAQ

How do I use porch study group in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 3 · Citronella 3 · Tea Tree 3 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 lavender?
Swap lavender for geranium or ylang ylang — same floral family. The blend will shift a little: geranium is green and rosy, fresh and balanced.
When is the best time to use porch study group?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
