How do I use the “hometown cinnamon, waiting for Tet” blend in a diffuser?

Add Sweet Orange 2 · Cinnamon 2 · Cedarwood 2 · Lemon 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 sweet orange?

Swap sweet orange for bergamot or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: bergamot is light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style.

When does the “hometown cinnamon, waiting for Tet” 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.

Hometown cinnamon, waiting for Tet

Sweet orange, cinnamon and cedarwood split evenly: cheerful fruit, warm sweet spice and rustic dry wood. Lemon adds a bright tang so the blend never feels heavy. It recalls year-end evenings on a hometown porch, missing the scent of cinnamon and waiting for Tet. Run the diffuser in the living room for about 30 minutes after dinner; cinnamon is strong, so small rooms need half.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

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

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Cinnamon can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.
