Cinnamon

Cinnamon brings an instantly recognizable spicy warmth to perfumery that feels both familiar and deeply comforting. This ancient spice, harvested from the bark of tropical trees, delivers a sweet, fiery aroma with subtle woody and clove-like facets.

True Ceylon cinnamon is softer and more refined, while cassia cinnamon is bolder and spicier — both find their place in the perfumer's palette. In fragrance compositions, cinnamon adds immediate warmth and character.

It is one of those notes that people recognize and respond to instinctively, associating it with warmth, home, and celebration. Cinnamon pairs naturally with other spices for rich oriental compositions, with apple for the classic autumn combination, with vanilla and amber for cozy sweetness, with rose for an exotic spicy-floral effect, and with oud for Middle Eastern-inspired luxury.

You will find cinnamon in many beloved cold-weather fragrances.
