homesick for cinnamon

3 oils · Woody · Resinous & sweet · Warm spice · code BL-0735


Homesick, missing the cinnamon in the pot of pho mom made on the first morning of Tet, the Lunar New Year. Four drops of frankincense make a deep resin base, two drops of cinnamon add warm, spicy sweetness, and a single drop of sandalwood lines it with smooth creamy wood. Good for the living room on cold winter nights. Cinnamon is very strong, so a small room should use just one drop and keep the door cracked for air.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still); sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.


Method

Diffuser
Frankincense 4 · Cinnamon 2 · Sandalwood 1 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.

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 homesick for cinnamon in a diffuser?
Add Frankincense 4 · Cinnamon 2 · Sandalwood 1 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 frankincense?
Swap frankincense for vanilla or myrrh — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: vanilla is creamy, sweet and cozy.
When is the best time to use homesick for cinnamon?
Turn it on when your head feels tight: before a meeting, after a long day, or when you need a few minutes to settle.
