Silence costs extra · Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Frankincense blend

A home with a faint trace of cinnamon feels warm and settled. Three drops of sandalwood lay a smooth wood base, cedarwood and frankincense add dry wood and warm resin, and a single drop of cinnamon scatters a sweet, spicy note that feels very homey. Great for a living room in the cold season or at the end of the year. Cinnamon is quite strong, so don't go above one drop.

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. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
