How do I use rooftop drinks till late in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 3 · Lemongrass 2 · Eucalyptus 2 · Cedarwood 1 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 tea tree — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.

Rooftop drinks till late · Citronella, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus blend

Snacks are out, the cooler is full of ice, and all that is missing is a scent to keep mosquitoes off the table. Citronella opens bold and grassy, lemongrass and eucalyptus freshen things up, and cedarwood adds a bit of dry wood for depth. Place two diffusers at two corners of the rooftop, downwind; if the night runs late, top up the oils every 90 minutes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

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.
