How do I use the “dinner table out in the yard” blend in a diffuser?

Add Cinnamon 3 · Tea Tree 3 · Basil 3 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 “dinner table out in the yard” 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.

Dinner table out in the yard · Cinnamon blend

Cinnamon, tea tree and basil in equal parts: warm spice, sharp green and peppery leaf, a clear and strong scent. It recalls the dinner table carried out to the yard at dusk, a bubbling hotpot, a basket of freshly picked greens and lively chatter. Place the diffuser in a corner of the yard, away from the table, and start it about 20 minutes before the meal. Cinnamon is fairly strong, so keep to the recipe and do not add more.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm); basil (sweet and green with a hint of anise) 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.
