cozy spice, zero bites

3 oils · Floral · Woody · Warm spice · code BL-2564


Cinnamon leads, sweet, spicy and warm like pastries fresh from the oven, cedarwood follows with dry wood, and lavender softens the tail. Cozy for you, far less charming to mosquitoes, perfect for the living room on cool evenings at the end of rainy season. Cinnamon is strong, so diffuse in intervals with the room well ventilated; in rooms under 15 m², cut cinnamon to 6 drops.

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.

Safety

Skin irritant

Cinnamon 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.


FAQ

How do I use cozy spice, zero bites 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 is the best time to use cozy spice, zero bites?
Diffuse it on the balcony, porch or in the bedroom in the evening; keep the window screens shut for best results.
