Christmas lights downtown · Vanilla, Ceylon Cassia, Palmarosa blend

Vanilla opens sweet and warm; Ceylon cassia and palmarosa follow equally, gentle spice meeting rosy grass; one drop of neroli adds a graceful white-floral note. It smells like dessert at a charming little cafe. Good for the bedroom or vanity on cold evenings. Run the diffuser for about 20 minutes; for more florals, add 1 drop of neroli.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ceylon cassia (sweet, softly spicy and warm); palmarosa (sweet and grassy with a rosy note); neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

Safety

Skin irritant

Ceylon Cassia 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.
