What you get in this bottle
This 10 ml glass bottle contains 100% natural, undiluted cinnamon bark essential oil. The oil is extracted from the bark of the Cinnamomum tree, so it has a sweet, spicy, slightly woody, warming scent profile that for many instantly recalls winter baking, a room warmed by mulled wine or a cosy hour beside a cup of coffee. After opening, the oil keeps its quality for about two years if stored in a dark, cool place away from children. The origin is India.
How to use it at home
Cinnamon bark essential oil is meant for diffusion. Drop 3-5 drops into the upper tray of an oil burner together with a little water, or into the water reservoir of an electric aroma diffuser. Heat or ultrasonic mist slowly spreads the fragrance through the room. In an average room this amount gives a pleasant scent cloud for 30-60 minutes. Never put the oil into a hot dish without water, and never apply it undiluted to skin.
How you can use it in everyday life
Many choose it in the cold, dark months, when they want a warm, safe mood at home. Diffused next to your morning coffee in the kitchen, it creates a confectionery atmosphere. When guests come – for a weekend lunch or an advent afternoon – the spicy fragrance refreshes the space. Many also love it for study, handcraft work or evening reading, because the warm scent helps keep attention on the activity.
How to know this is the right choice for you
Choose this option if you are looking for the classic, deep, barky spice of cinnamon, rather than the gentler, slightly sweeter cinnamon leaf oil. You can expect a lasting, warm scent profile that blends well with many other oils: clove, orange, sandalwood or pine make a fine winter bouquet. The 10 ml size is enough for several months of family use.
What to watch out for in use
Cinnamon bark oil is strong, so less is more: 3-5 drops are plenty for an average room, while overdosing can cause headache. Never apply it neat to the skin – used pure it can irritate. In pregnancy, with small children in the house or with asthma, please consult a doctor before use. Keep it away from pets, especially cats, for whom the smell of cinnamon can be strongly disturbing.
