Cinnamon

Description
Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of trees from the Cinnamomum genus, native to South and Southeast Asia. Renowned for its warm and aromatic qualities, cinnamon has been used in culinary, medicinal, and perfumery traditions for centuries. In fragrances, cinnamon is prized for its ability to impart a cozy and spicy richness, often featured in oriental and gourmand compositions as a middle or base note.
Odor Profile
Cinnamon has a warm, sweet, and spicy aroma with rich, woody undertones. Its scent is both comforting and invigorating, with a slightly dry and powdery texture. Subtle balsamic and resinous nuances add depth, while its sweet-spicy character lends a touch of exotic warmth and richness to fragrances.
