Pop the lid off a tin of butter cookies, and a sweet scent rushes out. Ten drops of vanilla take charge, seven drops of ylang-ylang add sweet yellow flowers, cedarwood lays a dry wood base, and five drops of spearmint bring a bit of coolness so it never gets cloying. This bottle suits the living room on rainy days or a comic-reading corner. Use 5 drops at a time; for a more cookie-like scent, use less spearmint in the next batch.

On opening. Spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.
What remains. Vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
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.
