Absolute Aromas Cinnamon Leaf Oil

This slightly pungent oil, distilled from the partly dried leaves and twigs of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, is often used in perfumery for its warm, spicy, "oriental" notes. It has a high level of Eugenol (80-90%) which may cause skin irritation, especially in baths, and thus it is sold only for use in a burner or diffuser, unless otherwise advised by a qualified aromatherapist. Cinnamon has a warming and spicy aroma which blends wonderfully with the citrus oils and other spices such as Clove or Nutmeg. To create the perfect atmosphere over the festive season blend 1 drop of Cinnamon Leaf, 1 drop of Clove Bud and 3 drops of Mandarin in a burner or diffuser. To help lift your spirits if you are feeling under the weather try 1 drop of Cinnamon Leaf, 2 drops of Ylang Ylang and 2 drops of Sweet Orange.
