Description
Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices in the world, and the oil extracted from its leaves brings a surprise: it smells more like cloves than classic cinnamon. The reason is chemical, the leaves contain 70–85% eugenol, the exact molecule that defines cloves, compared to the cinnamaldehyde that dominates bark oil. It offers a warm, spicy, oriental aroma, and a distinct cosmetic profile compared to the bark variant, making it more accessible for topical formulations.
Like any phenolic oil, this must be used in small concentrations and mandatory diluted. Used with discernment, it brings warmth, vigor, and character to any formula or composition.
air Olfactory profile: Warm, spicy, with sweet-woody undertones. Persistent and dominant in any blend.
Ingredients: Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Leaf Oil
100% pure and natural, distilled from leaves

Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Why does it smell more like cloves than cinnamon?
A: The classic aroma of cinnamon comes from cinnamaldehyde, which is dominant in the bark oil. The leaves of the very same tree produce an oil dominated by eugenol.
Q: What is the difference compared to the bark oil?
A: Cinnamon bark oil contains ~70% cinnamaldehyde, a powerful sensitizer with extremely strict IFRA limits. Leaf oil has a wider window for cosmetic use, although it still requires correct dilution. For topical applications, the leaf is the practical choice.

I use it as an ingredient in creams, balms and ointments, in toothpaste, and as a flavoring essence for M&P and CP soaps. It has a good anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, antibacterial, toning, warming, blood and lymphatic circulation. It has a warm, slightly peppery odor, very pleasant and quite strong. I recommend with confidence.

It has a warm, slightly peppery, very pleasant and quite strong smell. I use it in men's lip balms and perfume formulas. In soaps, I find it great to mix cinnamon with an apple scent: it lasts well over time, doesn't color or thicken the trace, and the flavor is very good, almost like apple strudel.
