How do I use the “street goes quiet, balcony time” blend in a diffuser?

Add Lavender 3 · Tea Tree 2 · Peppermint 2 · Lemongrass 2 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 does the “street goes quiet, balcony time” 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.

Street goes quiet, balcony time · Lavender blend

Lavender leads with a soft, lightly sweet floral layer. Tea tree, peppermint and lemongrass share the rest: sharp green leaves, cool mint and zesty fresh grass. Clean, calm yet clear, for when the traffic finally quiets and you step onto the balcony to watch the streetlights before bed. Run the diffuser 30 minutes in a bedroom with a balcony door; for easier sleep, cut peppermint by 2 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); 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.

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
