Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil — 10 ml

Introduction
Cinnamon Leaf essential oil, distilled from the leaves of the true cinnamon tree, is a warm, spicy-herbal oil with a softer and more earthy profile than the fiery Cinnamon Bark oil. Traditionally used in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Southeast Asian herbal practices, it has been valued for its warming, comforting, and protective qualities . In perfumery, Cinnamon Leaf offers a spicy middle note with clove-like depth, adding warmth and richness without overpowering sweetness. At Herbsmetics, we feature Cinnamon Leaf oil in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests discover its balance of spice, herb, and warmth.
