The blend includes Lemon, Lemongrass and Citronella among others. It contains no True Melissa.

As its components are oils high in insect-repellent chemicals, Melissa Type is also very good at keeping flying pests at bay.

For flying pests blend 5 drops of Melissa Type with 2 drops of Cedarwood in a burner or diffuser. As this oil is already a blend, it makes an ideal diffusing oil in its own right.

For a refreshing, cleansing aroma, try 5 drops of Melissa Type with 2 drops of Rosemary in a burner or diffuser.

For a smoother, more floral aroma, try 2 drops of Geranium with 4 drops of Melissa Type or 3 drops of Lavender with 4 drops of Melissa.

This oil also complements Cedarwood, Rosemary, Geranium, Lavender, Ylang Ylang or the spice oils.
