SPICE
cinnamon
fragrance lore:
Cinnamomum verum / Ceylon Bark Oil
origins & extraction
A spice obtained from the inner bark of the
cinnamomun vernum, an eastern tree native to
Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka and China. Its primary
scent component is cinnamaldehyde, which makes up to
90% of the oil distilled from the tree bark.
perfumery use:
Cinnamon in perfumery walks a delicate line. It’s familiar
yet flickering; sweet, but sharp. Adds heat, intrigue, and
a radiant pulse.
natural vs. synthetic
Natural bark oil is rich and deep; safer synthetics often
soften the sharpness.
mood:
luxurious, warming; bittersweet.
symbolism:
In ancient rituals, cinnamon was
sacred. In perfumery, it still is.songs of

fragrance lore:
In Divine Vanille, cinnamon is a
glowing ember beneath the velvet
—warming the vanilla,
sharpening the resins, and drawing
the senses inward. Used here in the
form of Ceylon bark oil,
cinnamon adds depth and radiance
without overt spice. It pulls the
gourmand elements back from
dessert—and toward devotion.
In Megalium, cinnamon is a sacred ritual fire. This isn’t
spice in the pantry - this is spice in the temple, a burning red
thread wrapped through myrrh, calamus, laurel, and
sacred woods. It cuts through the rose, to keep the
fragrance dangerously alive.
Cinnamon here isn’t just decorative
spice—it’s scaffolding. A thread of
warmth stitched between rose
absolute and ambered wood. For
the deep romanticism of Annicke 6's
florals, the cinnamon adds breath to
the amber, reminding you that
beneath elegance, there is always
heat.
