Last night was lost to mosquitoes; tonight will be different. Citronella keeps the lead with bold grass, while peppermint and lavender split the rest, one cool and tingly, one soft and floral. Made for grown-up bedrooms. Run the diffuser 30 minutes before bed with the door shut, then switch it off as you get in; if peppermint keeps you up, move 2 drops of peppermint over to lavender.

On opening. Citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); peppermint (cool, sharp 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.
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.
