Heading back to your hometown for Tet, the Lunar New Year, with a little cinnamon along for the ride. Four drops of lime are tart and green like the lime tree out back, and two drops of cinnamon are warm, spicy and sweet, bringing to mind holiday candied fruit and a crackling kitchen fire. A simple pair that feels very festive, great for the living room or kitchen in the last days of the year. Cinnamon is quite strong, so keep it to 1 drop in a small room; for a big room, double everything.

On opening. Lime (zesty, gently tart and very fresh) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) 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.
Lime can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.
Cinnamon can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
