the buzzing finally stops

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Herbal · Minty · code BL-2587


Lavender comes first, mellow like a friendly hello; then tea tree, peppermint and lemongrass rush in with three shades of sharp green, cool tingle and fresh tang. Good for the living room or home office in peak mosquito season, when you want the air both soothing and alert. The 17–18h window (5 to 6 pm) is ideal for diffusing; for the bedroom, cut peppermint to 4 drops for a softer feel.

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.

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 the buzzing finally stops 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 is the best time to use the buzzing finally stops?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
