Визначення

Spicy, hot, more eugenol than cinnamaldehyde. Cinnamon leaf oil smells closer to clove than to cinnamon bark — a cheaper, rougher, more medicinal version.

Запах

Spicy, warm, clove-dominant, with a faint cinnamon undertone. The eugenol character is unmistakable — hot, phenolic, with a dental-medicinal edge. Less sweet than cinnamon bark, more medicinal, rougher. The cinnamon signature is present but subordinate to the clove. On skin, it warms and projects a spicy-clove halo.

Теруар і хемотипи

Докладно

Cinnamon leaf oil (Cinnamomum verum, syn. C. zeylanicum) has a dramatically different chemical profile from cinnamon bark oil. While bark oil is dominated by cinnamaldehyde (65-80%), leaf oil is dominated by eugenol (70-85%) — the same molecule that characterizes clove. This makes cinnamon leaf smell more like clove than like cinnamon bark.

The oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the cinnamon tree, which are a byproduct of bark harvesting. It is significantly cheaper than bark oil and has a warmer, more phenolic, less sweet character. The eugenol dominance gives it a spicy-medicinal quality, while traces of cinnamaldehyde and linalool provide a faint cinnamon signature.

In perfumery, cinnamon leaf oil is used as a cost-effective source of eugenol and as a spicy modifier. It provides warm, clove-like spiciness with a cinnamon undertone — useful when pure cinnamon bark oil would be too expensive or too irritating (cinnamaldehyde is a stronger sensitizer than eugenol).

У парфумерії

Cinnamon leaf oil is a top-to-heart spice note providing eugenol-driven warm spiciness. It bridges cinnamon and clove families. Used as a cost-effective alternative to clove bud oil or as a spicy modifier in amber, gourmand, and warm compositions. The eugenol content makes it useful for carnation accords (which are eugenol-based). Less restricted by IFRA than cinnamaldehyde-rich bark oil. Compatible with other phenolic spices (clove, allspice) and with warm bases (vanilla, amber).
