Листя кориці

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

Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Steam distillation of Cinnamomum verum leaves. The leaves are a byproduct of bark harvesting. The oil is pale to dark yellow with 70-85% eugenol content. Yields are approximately 1.5-3% from fresh leaves. Production primarily in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Seychelles. Significantly cheaper than bark oil.

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).
