How do I use the “sundress on the balcony” blend 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 does the “sundress on the balcony” 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.

Sundress on the balcony · Lavender blend

A hot night, you slip into a sundress and sit on the balcony with ice cream, hair lifting in the breeze. Lavender takes the biggest share, soft and floral, lemon eucalyptus follows sharp and cool, and a little lemongrass adds a tangy freshness on top. Feminine and clean, for lazy evenings when you still want to feel pretty. Set the diffuser on a small balcony table and run it for about 20 minutes before you sit down.

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.

Skin irritant

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