Warm cajeput, orange and cassia; let it be cold outside.

The northeast monsoon has arrived, so let it be cold outside: warm cajeput, cheerful sweet orange and softly sweet Ceylon cassia. The scent is warm like a wool scarf around your neck. Great for the bedroom, a living room in a northern Vietnam winter, or a room with small children (use a small amount). Start the diffuser when you close up in the evening; for more warmth, add one drop of Ceylon cassia.

How it unfolds

On opening. Cajeput (cool yet warm, and very familiar); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ceylon cassia (sweet, softly spicy and warm) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Safety

Skin irritant

Ceylon Cassia 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.
