What you get in this bottle
This 10 ml glass bottle contains 100% natural, undiluted cinnamon leaf essential oil. The oil is extracted from the fresh leaves of the Cinnamomum tree, so compared with cinnamon bark it gives a softer, greener and slightly lighter scent profile. Many find it calming and balancing while keeping cinnamon's warm, homely character. The origin is India. After opening, it keeps its freshness for about two years if stored in a dark, cool place.
How to use it at home
Drop 3-5 drops into the upper tray of an oil burner 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 mood for 30-60 minutes. Never apply it undiluted to the skin. Never put the oil into an empty, hot dish without water.
How you can use it in everyday life
Many choose this softer cinnamon variant for winding down in the evening, with reading or quiet music. After airing the living room, a short diffusion brings back the feeling of homeliness with a pleasantly warm scent. When you expect guests but feel the bark version would be too strong, this variant offers a gentler bridge. It is also a fine companion for a late afternoon moment of time-for-yourself after a rushed morning.
How to know this is the right choice for you
Choose this option if you specifically want the gentler, slightly greener cinnamon feel, or if there are people with more sensitive noses (children, older family members) at home. Cinnamon leaf oil blends well with other softer scents: lavender, lemon and orange blossom together make a soft, homely bouquet. The 10 ml bottle is enough for several months of family use.
What to watch out for in use
Even the gentler cinnamon leaf is a concentrated essential oil, so 3-5 drops are plenty for an average room. Keep it away from small children, and in pregnancy, asthma or other health conditions consult a doctor before use. Cats may find the cinnamon fragrance disturbing, so ventilate if your pet is in the room. Keep the bottle upright, tightly closed, in a cool, dark place so its quality lasts long.
