How do I use the “rooftop at dusk” blend in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 3 · Rosemary 3 · Peppermint 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 citronella?

Swap citronella for eucalyptus or tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: eucalyptus is strong, cool and wide open.

When does the “rooftop at dusk” 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.

Rooftop at dusk · Citronella, Rosemary blend

Citronella, rosemary and peppermint in equal parts: bold grass, sharp green herbs and a cool minty lift. Clear and wakeful, it suits late afternoons on the rooftop as the wind picks up and the city lights come on one by one. Mix a bottle ahead and use 4 to 5 drops in a diffuser beside your chair for about 30 minutes; for a gentler blend, reduce peppermint to 6 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); peppermint (cool, sharp 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.
