How do I use the “monsoon night, doors shut” blend in a diffuser?

Add Cinnamon 5 · Frankincense 5 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 cinnamon?

Swap cinnamon for coriander or pink pepper — same warm spice family. The blend will shift a little: coriander is warm and seedy, lightly sweet, with a whisper of spice.

When does the “monsoon night, doors shut” blend work best?

Use it in closed rooms, on humid days, in monsoon season or after long hours of air conditioning; diffuse in short 20 to 30 minute runs.

Monsoon night, doors shut · Cinnamon blend

The first monsoon wind blows in, the doors get shut and everyone gathers in the living room. Cinnamon and frankincense split evenly: cinnamon sweet and spicy like a holiday kitchen, frankincense warm and resinous, the two wrapping around each other smoothly and lingering a long time. Lovely for winter evenings, holidays or when guests are over. Cinnamon is strong, so a small room only needs 3 drops of it in the diffuser, run for about 30 minutes.

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) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
