smooth skin, no bites

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-2536


Lavender dominates, so it opens soft, floral and slightly sweet, while lemon eucalyptus and lemongrass follow with a crisp lemony-grassy layer underneath. A gentle scent for anyone who loves evening walks but hates smelling heavily of citronella. Dilute well in carrier oil or unscented lotion and test on your wrist first; for sensitive skin, reduce lemon eucalyptus to 6 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); lemongrass (fresh, green 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.

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.


FAQ

How do I use smooth skin, no bites in a diffuser?
Add Lavender 4 · Lemon Eucalyptus 2 · Lemongrass 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 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 smooth skin, no bites?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
