stroller walk at dusk

6 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Minty · Woody · code BL-2517


Geranium and citronella open together, one green rose, one pungent dry grass; lemon eucalyptus, lavender and spearmint keep it cool and soft, and patchouli makes the tail last. Made for pushing the stroller around the park in the early evening. Put 2–3 drops on a piece of cloth clipped to the stroller canopy, away from the baby's skin; for babies under 2, ask a doctor first.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
