How do I use the “twirling at the rooftop party” blend in a diffuser?

Add Citronella 4 · Lemongrass 2 · Lavender 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 citronella?

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

When does the “twirling at the rooftop party” 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.

Twirling at the rooftop party · Citronella blend

A twirling dress, bare feet and an evening on the rooftop. Two grasses open seamlessly: warm, bold citronella and fresh, sharp lemongrass; lavender closes with a soft floral note so it never feels too rustic. Place the diffuser near the drinks table, start it about 20 minutes before guests arrive and keep it running all evening. For a more floral scent, raise lavender to 5 drops.

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. 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.
