Cinnamon Leaves

Cinnamon leaves offer a warm, spicy, and slightly woody fragrance note with a softer and more herbaceous profile compared to cinnamon bark. Their scent is rich and aromatic, adding a cozy and inviting quality to perfumes. Cinnamon leaves are often used as a middle note, imparting warmth and depth to fragrance compositions. They blend well with florals, citrus, and woody notes, contributing to balanced and sophisticated scents that evoke comfort and warmth.

History & Production: The essential oil from cinnamon leaves is derived from the Cinnamomum verum tree, native to Sri Lanka and India. The leaves are harvested and steam distilled to extract their essential oil, which captures the spicy yet green and slightly woody essence. Unlike the more intense cinnamon bark oil, cinnamon leaf oil has a milder aroma with high levels of eugenol, giving it a more rounded and complex scent. Cinnamon leaves have been used for centuries in both traditional medicine and perfumery for their warm, aromatic properties. Today, they continue to be valued in modern fragrances for their ability to add a touch of spice and depth.
