How do I use the “cinnamon porch in December” blend in a diffuser?

Add Cinnamon 4 · Cedarwood 2 · Lavender 2 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 cinnamon?

Swap cinnamon for coriander or pink pepper — same warm spice family. The blend will shift a little: coriander is warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice.

When does the “cinnamon porch in December” 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.

Cinnamon porch in December · Cinnamon blend

Cinnamon leads, sweet, spicy and warm like a family home in the days before Tet. Cedarwood backs it with rustic dry wood, and lavender adds a soft floral layer so the spice never turns sharp. A cozy blend for cool year-end evenings, wrapped in a jacket on the porch with a warm drink. Run the diffuser in the living room near the porch door for about 30 minutes; cinnamon is strong, so use half for small rooms.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm); lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
