How do I use the “wide tiled-roof veranda” blend in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 2 · Lemongrass 2 · Tea Tree 1 · Citronella 1 · Eucalyptus 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 peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When does the “wide tiled-roof veranda” 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.

Wide tiled-roof veranda · Peppermint blend

Peppermint and lemongrass share the opening, minty cool meeting fresh tang, lifting the moment the diffuser starts. Tea tree, citronella and eucalyptus follow with three green notes: sharp, grassy and leafy-cool. Made for the wide tiled-roof veranda of an old house, the front hall open to the evening breeze. Mix a bottle ahead and use 6 drops for about 30 minutes; in a smaller space, use 3 drops and less peppermint.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean); tea tree (green, medicinal and clean); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony); eucalyptus (strong, cool and wide open) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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.
