Cassia

Cassia is a warm, spicy, and sweet fragrance note reminiscent of cinnamon but with a more intense and slightly bitter profile. Its scent is rich and aromatic, evoking the comforting warmth of autumn and winter spices. Cassia adds a bold, spicy touch to perfumes, often used as a middle or base note to bring depth and complexity to compositions. It pairs well with other spices, woods, and florals, enhancing the overall richness and providing an exotic and sophisticated quality to fragrances.

History & Production: Cassia comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree, which is native to China and has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and perfumery. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the bark, capturing its warm, spicy aroma. In ancient times, cassia was prized as a luxury spice and used in ceremonial and aromatic practices. Today, cassia continues to be a valued ingredient in perfumery for its ability to impart a distinctive and exotic spice that enhances the complexity and character of both traditional and modern fragrances.
