Rating: Smells just like the Red Hots candy. I'm super obsessed with this one. It is potent, just a little does the trick, and it covers up the smell of nutty oils and butters effortlessly.

Rating: Easy does it with this scent. I overpowered an 8oz bottle of chai blend with too much of this. Dialed it back and now it balances wonderfully. Lovin that price too!
By:Aaron, La Grande, Oregon Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Feb-2014
Rating: Mmmmm...this is sweet and lovely! Such a warm, wild smell. Great in the diffuser, or personal blends. Slightly erotic. A little goes a long, looooong way!
By:Mikaila, Port Ludlow, Washington Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Aug-2013
Rating: As other reviewers have mentioned this smells a lot like Clove Bud Essential oil. It is very strong and could potentially be overpowering. All in all a great oil.
By:Sarah, Temecula, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 27-Sep-2013
Rating: Very different from what I am used to, but still a great oil. This one is deeper, very similar to Clove Leaf. A little bit goes a long way and it seems to mellow out after I add it, as part of a blend, to my products.
By:Lisa, Pellston, Michigan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-May-2008
Rating: Powerful and pure. There is the slightest green-ness - I mean so slight in difference to cinnamon bark. But mostly it's a big sharp cinnamon. ND serves us so well! I love you guys!
By:Jaipreet, Livermore, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Oct-2011
Rating: This is absolutely one of my favorite EOs! It is wonderful in Christmas blends with Frankincense, Clove Bud, Orange and Black Pepper. Very easy to use for CP soap, scent holds exceptionally well.
By:Stacey, Paris, Illinois Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Nov-2011
Rating: Very nice oil, but to my nose it is more similar to clove bud. Very strong
By:Harry, Oreland, Pennsylvania Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Sep-2012
Rating: I love this essential oil, it's not your typical cinnamon "type" scent, it's better, warm, rich and woody and it's strong and blends really well with clove leaf and sweet orange.
By:Lisa, Pellston, Michigan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-May-2008
Rating: I like the sweetness of this Cinnamon Leaf. Not only that, it really lasts. I use it in cold process soap and as long as I work quickly, I don't have problems with seizing.
By:Cynthia, Mount Carroll, Illinois Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Sep-2010
Rating: very strong essential oil. A little will go a long way. Reminds me of the cinnamon pine cones at Christmas tree shops.Holds true in cp soaps.
By:Derek, Portsmouth, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Jul-2011
Rating: Very strong scent. Blends nicely with lavender 40/42 and patchouli dark for a more masculine scent in my cp soaps. Glad I made this purchase.
By:Derek, Portsmouth, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Jul-2011
Rating: This EO is very nice and the scent is so powerful!
Great for incense sticks and cones.
Works well on X-mas pine cones.
A little goes a long way.
Highly requested by my customers
By:Eric, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Apr-2010
Rating: This scent is fantastic in CP soap. It's very strong so a little goes a very long way! I use this in several essential oil blends. A definite stocked oil in my supplies!
By:Heather, Colorado Springs, Colorado Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-Aug-2009
Rating: Almost minty in the bottle, with a touch of oranges in the cinnamon notes, like Constant Comment tea. Once it touches your skin, or a carrier oil, it evolves into the more familiar clove-y cinnamon note I desire in my perfume work. New Directions' has procured a fascinating oil, and one that requires a bit more experimentation than similar Cinnamon Leaf oils I've purchased elsewhere. Makes for a wonderful marriage with frankincense and something earthier, like patchouli, labdanum (my favorite), or myrrh.
By:Jourdain, Salinas, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-May-2009
Rating: I had not tried the cinnamon leaf oil before. Cinnamon & cassia are some of my favorite scents. The cinnamon leaf is very different from the ususal scent you associate with cinnamon, it has a strong, much more clove-like, & woody fragrance. I look forward to blending it with other spices & citrus.
Rating: I use this oil in cold process soap, lovely, you do not need a lof of EO and the scent is so powerfull!
but if you use it for cp soap, work fast! They soap will heat so do not cover your soap :)
By:Caroline, Bearn, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is a really great cinnamon. Highly requested by my customers. A little does go a long way, so be sure to use sparingly. Thanks ND for such a great product!
By:Juanita, East Burke, Vermont Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Sep-2008
Rating: This is an awesome cost-effective substitute for the more expensive spice oils. It has a sweet candy-like scent and blends wonderfully. Use it sparingly or it can overpower other aromas.
By:Shama, Houston, Texas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Jan-2008
Rating: I find this to be a very strong intense oil..... a little goes a very long way. I love it in my IMMUNE blends.. really adds a zip and wonderful aroma.
By:Sandy, Selma, North Carolina Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Dec-2006
Rating: What a terrific scent! I include this in my floor cleaning blend (with other essential oils I purchase only from ND) and the blend leaves my floors beautiful and my whole house smelling terrific. I love finding alternatives to harsh chemicals! I bought the large bottle on this one because I use it so much!!!! Thanks ND for helping me find alternative ways to clean my house and better my family's air quality!

Rating: Smells like Red Hots. A very nice oil. I really like this, but will buy the bark next time as I wanted more of a spice scent and didn't read the decription correctly. That was my error thought not New Directions.
Rating: Wonderful oil, I use it in cp cinnamon-clove-orange recipe. It is by far my best seller!
By:Roberta, Anderson, California
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Jan-2007
Rating: I love this essential oil! I made lots of massage oil with this Cinnamon Leaf essential oil, it has a nice and warm scent. It is specially good for winter massages. Cinnamon massage oil is a great gift for men and women!
By:Min, Brossard, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I just do not understand how New Directions can offer 100% pure essential oils at this level of quality at this low of a price! Please no one tell them what a great deal we are getting (haha)
thanks ND for your wonderful products! Don't know what I did before I found you!
By:Joely, Topeka, Kansas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Nov-2006
Rating: This has a very strong smell that I find useful in many applications. Be sure to properly dilute this oil. Good quality at a great price.
By:Rachel, Roach, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 07-Nov-2006
Rating: I love this oil for a variety of reasons, one being it is safer than the cinnamon bark oil and its use in sensual blends...really adds a spicy warm feel. It can also be used for anorexia, anti fungal, stimulating childbirth contractions, chills, colds, debility, fear, frigidity, gum care, induces menstruation, infection, isolation, lice, loneliness, poor circulation, rheumatism, scanty periods, stress, warts, wasp stings. (Also known as Ceylon Cinnamon, Cinnamomum verum, Laurus cinnamomum, Madagascar Cinnamon, Seychelles Cinnamon, True Cinnamon.) this one is highly recommeded for quality and price.
