Star anise and cedarwood in equal parts, sweet spice meeting warm dry wood; clary sage closes with rounded herbs. It evokes the year-end train ride back to your hometown and a kitchen smelling of simmering broth. Good for the living room or bedroom in the days before Tet, the Lunar New Year. Star anise is strong, so diffuse in intervals; if it feels too intense, cut it to 2 drops.

As it settles. Star anise (sweet and warm, reminiscent of pho broth and Tet sweets); clary sage (sweet, herbal, slightly musky and unhurried) 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.
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.
