Cinnamom
A cornerstone spice in amber-style compositions, cinnamon brings gently spicy warmth, a balsamic sweetness that reads almost vanilla, and an ambery woody base that gives body to gourmand, floral, and woody accords.
In aromachology, cinnamon has been studied for effects related to perceived stress, anxiety, and aspects of cognitive stimulation, with cinnamaldehyde often cited among the key constituents. Recent peer-reviewed research suggests it may support a calmer mood, gentle alertness, and a more positive affect, enriching the emotional dimension of the fragrance experience.
