How do I use last winter's sweater in a diffuser?

Add Vanilla 5 · Cinnamon 2 · Patchouli 2 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 vanilla?

Swap vanilla for frankincense or myrrh — same resinous & sweet family. The blend will shift a little: frankincense is resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still.

When is the best time to use last winter's sweater?

Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).

Last winter's sweater · Vanilla, Cinnamon, Patchouli blend

Fifteen drops of vanilla, sweet and warm like a sweater mom knitted, five drops of cinnamon, warmly spiced like gingerbread cookies, and five drops of patchouli, earthy like an old wooden drawer. A nostalgic, cozy scent for cold seasons. Premix the 25-drop batch; if using a roller bottle, dilute it well because of the cinnamon, or use 4 drops in the diffuser.

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. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

Method

Diffuser

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.
