Year-end burnout · Ceylon Cassia, Lemon blend

Year-end deadlines are piling up and you are running on empty. Ceylon cassia opens sweet and warm, gentler than regular cinnamon; lemon cuts in bright and tart, making the scent fresher and more awake. Good for the desk or home office during crunch weeks. Run a mini diffuser early in the afternoon when your energy dips; for more alertness, add 1 drop of lemon.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Ceylon cassia (sweet, softly spicy and warm) forms the body of the scent and stays 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.

Safety

Photosensitizing Skin irritant

Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

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.
