Powerful, warm cinnamon bark aroma — sweet, spicy, and slightly balsamic with a faintly green, aldehydic edge. Very tenacious and dominating; can smell almost candy-like at high dilution but harsh and burning when concentrated.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Flavor

Sweet-spicy Cinnamon-Alispice taste, but not quite as sweet as the aldehyde.
