cinnamon says scram

5 oils · Citrus · Floral · Minty · Woody · Warm spice · code BL-2570


Patchouli and geranium are nearly equal, damp earth wrapped in green rose; peppermint and lemongrass add freshness up top, and cinnamon, just two drops, leaves a warm, spicy hint you will notice. Good for the living room on rainy nights, when mosquitoes fly in for shelter. Best after dinner, when the family gathers in the living room; add 1 drop of cinnamon for more warmth, but never more than 4 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Geranium (green and rosy, fresh and balanced); cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.

FAQ

How do I use cinnamon says scram in a diffuser?
Add Patchouli 3 · Geranium 3 · Peppermint 1 · Lemongrass 1 · Cinnamon 1 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.

Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
