About Cinnamon

Scent Profile

Cinnamon is not only dessert sweetness. It suggests dry bark, reddish warmth, and a subtle piquant bite. In fragrance it can warm amber, woods, and florals while adding a classic spicy shadow.

Use in Perfumery

Used from the opening into the heart, cinnamon gives temperature and depth. With clove or cardamom it builds a layered spice effect; with rose or patchouli it can make florals feel more mature and atmospheric.
