How do I use sneakers, smell-free in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 3 · Rosemary 3 · Citronella 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 lemon?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use sneakers, smell-free?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Sneakers that don't smell, and no need to hold your breath. Lemon, rosemary and citronella split ten drops each: bright freshness, green herbs and warm, rich grassiness. This large ready-mix bottle works for a spray: mix it with water and a little alcohol and spray the shoe cabinet and insoles. Wipe the cabinet dry and leave the door open for a few minutes every day.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony) 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.
