This is that classic, warm fragrance that ushers in the comfort of home and family, even on the coldest and frostiest of days.  The pungent aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg welcome you first, mingled with the heartfelt cheerfulness of orange.  A smooth note of vanilla follows after and lingers a bit so that you can linger too, and do all the memory-making that the season has to offer.

But don't become so enamored with the aroma that you negate the immune-strengthening power of the essential oils on this ingredient list! These guys are incredibly assertive in the antimicrobial department.  You're welcome. *wink, wink*
