Cinnamon Bark oil, ECOCERT, Madagascar

  The scent is extremely powerful, diffusive, warm-spicy, and tenacious. The undertone and dry-out notes reveal a dryness uncommon with the unusual sweetness.

  Steffen Arctander describes the longer lasting notes as "powdery-dusty but warm, uniform and lasting...." He also describes the top notes as fruity-fresh and candy-sweet comparable to a good clove bud oil. 

   The main components in Madagascar's Cinnamon Bark Oil are Cinnamic Aldehyde, Eugenol, aceteugenol and trace amounts of other aldehydes. The amount of aceteugenol may be determined by the method of distillation. Steam distillation will decompose most of the aceteugenol. Water distillation is less detrimental to the natural aromatics in the bark.

   Cinnamon Bark Oil is used in flavors for food and candy, baked goods, and beverages. It boast hundreds of uses and is considered one of the best and most powerful natural antiseptics.   In perfumery it blends well with woody oriental arrangements. The warm, dry, and spicy character work well with Citrus and Frankincense.  

   Be cautious buying Cinnamon Bark. If the price is too good to be true then pass by it.
