How do I use the “three grasses on the porch” blend in a diffuser?

Add Ginger Grass 3 · Citronella 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 ginger grass?

Swap ginger grass for rosemary or eucalyptus — same herbal family. The blend will shift a little: rosemary is cool, green, herbal and invigorating.

When does the “three grasses on the porch” 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.

Three grasses on the porch · Ginger Grass blend

Three kinds of grass in one pot, green and lightly spicy.

Three grasses in one recipe: warm, spicy ginger grass leads, citronella brings deep dry grass, and bright, fresh lemongrass closes. A clean green scent that recalls the grassy hedge behind the house at dusk, the breeze still carrying the leftover warmth of a sunny day. Lovely on a porch, balcony or in the garden in the evening. Run the diffuser from dusk for about 30 minutes; for more freshness, add a drop of lemongrass.

How it unfolds

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ginger grass (warm and grassy, slightly spicy with a sweet root note) 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.
