Cinnamon Leaf Pure Essential Oil 10 ml — Steam‑Distilled, Spiced-Hearth Warmth

Ember‑glow and cupboard spice—winter’s whisper in a drop.

Steam‑distilled from the leaves and twigs of the true cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, a.k.a. Ceylon cinnamon), this leaf oil carries a warm, clove‑like spice with a woody undertone—gentler than cinnamon bark oil yet still very potent. Lovely in micro‑doses for seasonal room mists and cosy diffuser blends; handle with care on skin and always dilute thoroughly. Used sparingly, cinnamon leaf lends a warming feel in massage blends and a comforting, spiced aura in the room. For leave-on skin products, use only tiny dilutions and avoid sensitive areas; many people are spice-sensitive.
