Freshen Your Summer with These DIY Diffuser Blends Featuring Citronella

Summer is the perfect season to refresh your space with natural essential oil blends that bring the outdoors in — while keeping unwanted guests (like bugs and musty odors) out.

Known for its fresh, lemony scent and natural bug-repelling benefits, citronella blends beautifully with floral, citrus, and woodsy oils to create diffuser combos that energize, relax, or purify — all summer long.
