Post-BBQ cleanup crew · Lemongrass, Cypress, Lemon blend

A BBQ is fun, but afterward the smoke smell clings to everything. Fresh, green lemongrass charges in first, cypress and lemon follow close behind with green wood and bright peel, and tea tree handles the clean-up finish. Mix this big bottle into a spray bottle with water and a little alcohol, then mist it over tablecloths and curtains. Put any leftovers in the diffuser.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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.
