Cautions for room & linen spray
  • Caution around pets (especially cats and birds) — don't diffuse in their space (Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Pine, Fir Needle)
  • Not for diffusing around young children (Peppermint, Eucalyptus)
  • Fades quickly — weak in cold-process soap or at hot throw (Eucalyptus)
  • Oxidizes with age — old oil is more likely to sensitize; store cool and dark (Pine, Fir Needle)

Ideas that use it

Winter evening collection
Heavier, warmer blends for long nights: resin, amber, woods and a little smoke.
