ORIGINS Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of tropical trees — most famously Cinnamomum verum (true cinnamon) and Cinnamomum cassia (stronger, spicier). Native to Sri Lanka, India, and Southeast Asia, it has been treasured since ancient times. Egyptians used it in embalming rituals, Romans in sacred ceremonies, and medieval traders treated it like gold. In perfumery, cinnamon adds an instantly warm, enveloping presence. The essential oil is distilled from the bark and offers both spicy heat and caramel-like sweetness. Fun fact: While cinnamon in cooking often leans sweet, in perfumery it can be surprisingly bold, resinous, or smoky — depending on its pairing.
