I was a little worried when I first opened the bottle, because I got this very earthy smell as opposed to a sharp cinnamon and almost didn't use it, but when I tried it in my lotion it really came through. It isn't as strong as some cinnamon but much truer than my original impression.

As expected, this one is strong and spicy! I love using it in my cold process soap. A little goes a LONG way! This goes great with orange, clove, and even eucalyptus or peppermint. Just made a goat milk oatmeal soap with cinnamon and clove and it smells like a yummy cookie.

My mom always purchased real cinnamon vs cassia and this is exactly what it smells like. I do cp soaps and this goes great with the 6 fold sweet orange. I give my soaps to clients as Christmas gifts, I'm complimented to know some of them have yet to use their bar of soap a whole year later because they love to keep them just to enjoy the aroma!!! :P

I use this in my homemade toothpaste along with a little clove oil. It tastes great and is good for your teeth. I put it in my laundry to make my clothes smell awesome! A few drops in standing water is supposed to kill mosquito larvae. It didn't work in a 55-gal drum, but haven't tried it in smaller areas yet.

This oil has a strong, comforting scent. I combined a tiny bit with Clove Bud Oil and Sweet Orange, to use in my lotions, soap, and salts, and was immediately reminded of fall.

This cinnamon is a little more earthy smelling than what I expected, but has worked so well in the lotions and CP soaps I've used it in. I made a christmas soap and used this E.O. along with sweet orange, spruce, and peppermint and this cinnamon was perfect for it. Just the right amount of spice and it really seems to perk you up. I was a little worried about skin irration but have not had any problems so far.

Smells just like the real thing. A little bit goes a long way and smells great in my body butters.
Chrissy Barber (Marinette, WI, US) | August 16th, 2011
This doesn't smell like a cinnamon stick, but certainly has strong earthy cinnamon fragrance. No acceleration or discoloration in CP soap and the fragrance sticks!

I like this EO, but Camden-Grey's Cinnamon Roll is better regarding scent. The benefit is working with an ESSENTIAL OIL instead of an FO. I blends well with all of my cold-process soaps. It's also not too strong, and didn't discolor any batches.
Michael Hechme (Brooklyn, NY, US) | January 14th, 2011
This is one of my favorite Essential oils. It works great in CP soaps and blends well with so many other essential oils. Its very strong, so a little goes a long way.
