Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil 50ml

Warm, dry and spiced, this cinnamon leaf essential oil brings the familiar brightness of cinnamon into a quieter, leafier register. Steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Cinnamomum zeylanicum in Sri Lanka, it is made for scenting a room, blending into aromatherapy rituals, or adding a cosy note to a diffuser blend.

The cinnamon note in the room

• The first impression is spicy and warming, with a sharper green edge than sweet kitchen cinnamon.
• It suits slow evenings, winter rituals, and moments when a room wants depth rather than freshness.
• A little goes a long way. Use sparingly in blends so the spice stays rounded, not overpowering.
• Its warm character pairs naturally with citrus, woods, resins and softer florals in home fragrance blends.
• The dark bottle and black ribbed cap give it a practical, apothecary feel on a shelf.

Leaf and twig, steam distilled in Sri Lanka

This oil comes from Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also known as Ceylon or true cinnamon. It is the leaf oil rather than the darker bark oil, giving a gentler aromatic profile often chosen for aromatherapy and room scenting.

How to use it with care

Add a small amount to an oil burner or diffuser, following the instructions for your device. For topical use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first.

Avoid use during pregnancy unless guided by a qualified professional. Keep essential oils out of reach of children and away from pets, and do not apply undiluted to the skin.

Cinnamon in trade and tradition

Cinnamon has travelled through spice routes for centuries, moving between South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe as a valued aromatic material. Older writers described its source through myth as much as fact, with stories of cinnamon birds and mysterious groves adding to its allure. Today, Sri Lankan Cinnamomum zeylanicum is closely associated with true cinnamon, prized for a more refined scent than cassia-type cinnamon. In oil form, the leaf offers the spice in a concentrated, aromatic way, suited to small rituals of scent and atmosphere.

Common questions

Is this cinnamon leaf oil or cinnamon bark oil?
This is cinnamon leaf essential oil, extracted from the leaves and twigs. Bark oil is a different, stronger material and should be treated with extra caution.

Can I use it neat on the skin?
No. Cinnamon essential oil should be diluted in a suitable carrier oil before any skin use, and a patch test is sensible.

What does cinnamon leaf essential oil blend well with?
It blends well with citrus oils, woody notes, resins and softer florals, especially when used in small amounts.
