First cold wind · Sweet Orange, Coriander, Cinnamon blend

Sweet orange opens bright and cheerful, coriander follows with a warm, slightly sweet spice like seeds just toasted, and a drop of cinnamon makes it rounder and warmer. The smell of a home kitchen on the day the weather suddenly turns cold. Good for the kitchen, dining room or living room. Start the diffuser once dinner is cooked; for more spice, raise coriander to 3 drops.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Coriander (warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice); 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.
