summer night, no bites

3 oils · Citrus · Herbal · code BL-3278


Cajeput and lemongrass-lemon; mosquitoes just buzz outside the door.

A summer night with no mosquito bites: minty-cool cajeput, fresh lemongrass and sharp, bright lemon eucalyptus, so mosquitoes only buzz outside the door. Great for the bedroom, the porch or a kids' room. Let the diffuser run from dusk until bedtime; close the window screens and hang a mosquito net if you live somewhere with lots of mosquitoes.

How it unfolds

On opening. Cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); lemon eucalyptus (green, lemony and cool, a little like lemongrass) 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.

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 summer night, no bites in a diffuser?
Add Cajeput 3 · Lemongrass 2 · Lemon Eucalyptus 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 cajeput?
Swap cajeput for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.
When is the best time to use summer night, no bites?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
