Warm, dry spice with a strong clove-like phenolic character from its high eugenol content. Rougher and more herbaceous than cinnamon bark oil, with a woody-medicinal undertone and a faint smoky-sweet edge that lingers.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Cinnamon Leaf Oil is a yellow to brownish-yellow oil of warm-spicy, but rather harsh odor, lacking the rich body of the bark oil.
Cinnamon Leaf Oil has some resemblance to the odor of clove leaf oil and clove stem oil.
The flavor is somewhat bitter, slightly pungent, irritant-burning, but very spicy and powerful.
The oil is used in perfumery for its spicy notes and its warm and woody-Oriental type.
In flavors, it is used as a modifier in spice blends, as a warm note in certain fruit essences, e.g. cherry, raspberry and prune, in chocolate and liqueur flavors, in soft drinks and candy, etc.
This oil is steam distilled locally from partly dried leaves and twigs.
