cold rain, thai hotpot

4 oils · Citrus · Herbal · Warm spice · code BL-3164


Tangy, spicy, belly-warming; grass, ginger and cinnamon simmering like a hotpot.

Cold and rainy, craving a pot of Thai hotpot: tangy, fragrant lemon leaf, sweet orange, warm and spicy ginger grass and simmering cinnamon bark. A belly-warming scent that even recalls bubbling broth, great for the kitchen, the dining room or the living room on cold, rainy nights. Run the diffuser while you prepare dinner; for extra warmth, add one drop of ginger grass.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ginger grass (warm and grassy, slightly spicy with a sweet root note); cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
