Toasty from the toes up · Ceylon Cassia, Frankincense, Cedarwood blend

Ceylon cassia, frankincense and cedarwood in equal parts: sweet warmth, resin and dry wood. The warmth spreads slowly like a pair of wool socks you just pulled on, never harsh, since Ceylon cassia is gentler than regular cinnamon. Good for the bedroom or sofa corner on cold days. Start the diffuser during a warm foot soak or as you get into bed; for larger rooms, double the recipe.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Ceylon cassia (sweet, softly spicy 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) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.

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.
