Simply amazing oil !
It's a very powerful oil, identical to the spice, up close it hits you but is much less stigny than other cinammon bark oils, its earthy smell stimulates and reassures, the sweetness disapears in the astringeant feeling. With some distance the spicy sweet scent returns, it's very long lasting and far reaching, in a good way ; almost feels like it jumps out of the bottle ! With a distance it's sweet smell is more stigny, but the wood undertones spring out like magic, it feels like the jungle.

Very nice strong cinnamon scent, a little goes along way with this stuff. We used this in our cp soap and you can use it very sparingly. It mixes well with the green apple FO from NDA.

ahhhh! cinnamon! when you feel sad, like nobody loves you, everything feels dark, cold and lonely you can sure count on cinnamon bark. Its spicy, sweet and uplifting-joyful smell will wrap you up in its magic and take care of you! yes, that's what cinnamon does. this essential oil is very important in magical uses. combine 2 drops of myrrh, 2 drops ylang ylang complete and 2 drops of cinnamon and voila! instant magic.

This smells absolutely delicious! I can't keep my nose out of the bottle. My family loves this combined with orange and clove as an air freshener.

What a great oil! I can't believe no one has written a review for it yet! Taking a whiff with the bottle under your nose, this oil smells precisely like dried cinnamon bark. Out of the bottle - or upon a third or fourth whiff - you begin to detect some fruity, very dark citrus notes, as well as a hint of pepper. This is a powerful scent, so a little goes a long way, and when combining it with other oils be sure to think about your proportions.
I haven't had the chance to test out this oil's purported antiseptic properties, but it is an excellent topical analgesic for arthritic, rheumatic and muscular pain. This oil blended into a body oil or cream (especially alongside other warming oils such as black pepper, ginger and capsicum) is a great remedy for both the chills and the body aches that come with having the flu. NOTE OF CAUTION: This oil applied to the skin neat can cause burning, itching and skin irritation, particularly those with sensitive skin. However, I have found that those sensations are temporary; they eventually plateau, and they seem to be one of the ways in which the oil relieves pain in the underlying tissues. I highly recommend this one.
