Sweet and gentle winter · Sweet Orange, Holy Basil, Cinnamon blend

Orange and cinnamon with clove-like warm spice, like a holiday cake.

Sweet and gentle in winter: sweet orange leads, holy basil is warm and spicy like clove, and cinnamon bark is sweet and warm, like a holiday cake fresh out of the oven. Great for the living room, the kitchen or a year-end party table. Start the diffuser while you bake or wrap presents; holy basil is strong, so cut it to one drop in a small room.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Holy basil (warm and spicy with a clove-like edge); cinnamon (spicy-sweet, hot and warm) form the body of the scent and stay 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.
