Smells incredible. The quality is exactly what they say it is.
There's a reason every candle brand in the world reaches for cinnamon.
It's warm. It's familiar. It signals something good is happening — baking, Christmas, spiced tea, a kitchen that smells lived-in and loved. The emotional hit is immediate. Scent researchers call cinnamon one of the most universally positive fragrance experiences across cultures.
The problem is that most "cinnamon" products are synthetic cinnamaldehyde — the lab-made version of the compound responsible for cinnamon's scent. It smells close. But it's not the same.
Pure cinnamon oil contains dozens of naturally occurring compounds beyond cinnamaldehyde — eugenol, linalool, cymene — that give the real oil its depth and complexity. Warm and spicy with a slight sweetness underneath.
And beyond the scent, it has genuine antimicrobial and moth-deterrent properties that synthetic fragrance simply doesn't.
"The cinnamon oil not only smells good — it enhances the smell of your clothes. The aroma is a bonus to the great job it does at keeping nasty bugs away."
— Margaret Kostraby ★★★★★

Cinnamon is a strong oil. A little goes a long way.
Diffusing:
2–3 drops in a diffuser. Pairs particularly well with orange, clove, and frankincense for a warm, rich home scent.
Moth and insect deterrent — clothes storage:
A few drops on a cotton wool ball or cedar block placed in wardrobes, drawers, or storage boxes. Renew every 4–6 weeks. A chemical-free alternative to mothballs.
Mopping:
A few drops in mop water gives floors a warm, spiced scent throughout the home. Works especially well on tiles and vinyl.
Oil burner:
3–4 drops with water. The warmth carries through a room in a way that water-based diffusers can't quite match.
"We use cinnamon essential oil in the oil burner and to mop the floors for a fresh woody scent throughout the house."
— Leah Venville ★★★★★
Caution on skin use: Cinnamon is a sensitising oil. Always dilute heavily — 0.5–1% maximum in a carrier oil. Do not apply undiluted. Not recommended on young children's skin.

Cinnamon is the warming base note that transforms any blend.
Classic blends:
Winter Warmth
Cinnamon + Orange + Clove — the classic Christmas blend. Use in a diffuser or oil burner. Instantly festive, instantly familiar.
Spiced Forest
Cinnamon + Cedarwood — deep, woody, and warm. Works year-round in living areas and offices.
Warm & Clean
Cinnamon + Eucalyptus — unexpected but it works. The eucalyptus keeps it fresh, the cinnamon adds depth. Good in kitchens.
Spiced Floral
Cinnamon + Frankincense — spiritual, warm, lingering. Particularly good in an oil burner for a long slow burn scent.
Start with 1 drop cinnamon to 3–4 drops of your second oil — cinnamon is powerful and can dominate a blend quickly.

What makes cinnamon oil good at deterring moths?
The cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon oil is naturally repellent to moths and other fabric insects — the same compound that gives cinnamon its scent. A few drops on a cotton ball in a drawer or wardrobe works as a chemical-free alternative to naphthalene mothballs.
Is it safe to diffuse around pets?
Use with caution. A short diffusion session (30 minutes) in a well-ventilated room with pets free to leave is generally considered low-risk. Avoid prolonged diffusion in enclosed spaces with cats or birds.
Can I use it on my skin?
Only with heavy dilution. A maximum 0.5–1% dilution in a carrier oil is recommended. Never apply undiluted. Patch test before use.
Can I add it to mopping water?
Yes. A few drops in a bucket of mop water gives a warm, lasting scent throughout the home. Safe on tiles and vinyl.
Is it 100% pure?
Yes. No carrier oils, no synthetic additions, no dilution. One ingredient.

Botanical name: Cinnamomum zeylanicum (bark)
Origin: Tropical regions
Extraction: Steam distillation from cinnamon bark
Key compound: Cinnamaldehyde
The primary active compound — cinnamaldehyde — is responsible for both the characteristic warm, spiced scent and the oil's antimicrobial and moth-deterrent properties. The oil also contains eugenol, which contributes depth and warmth, and linalool, which softens the profile.
Cinnamon bark oil has been used for centuries in food, medicine, and natural preservation. Its efficacy against moths and fabric pests is well-documented.
Note: Cinnamon oil is a known sensitiser due to the high cinnamaldehyde content. It must always be diluted before skin application.
