Slow winter Sunday · Frankincense, Cedarwood, Cinnamon blend

Frankincense opens with deep resin, cedarwood adds dry wood, and cinnamon and vanilla sit equally at the end, warm spice meeting creamy sweetness. The scent of a slow Sunday: sleeping in, a lazy brunch and a good book. Good for the living room or bedroom in winter. Once the coffee is made, start the diffuser; for a sweeter version, add 1 drop of vanilla.

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); cedarwood (dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings); vanilla (creamy, sweet and cozy) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

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.
