History

Cinnamon has been used in perfumery since antiquity, valued for its aromatic and preservative properties in ancient Egypt and the Middle East. The cinnamon accord became prominent in modern perfumery during the early 20th century, especially within the oriental fragrance family. Its association with warmth and opulence has made it a recurring element in both classic and contemporary scent compositions.

In Perfumery

Perfumers employ the cinnamon accord to add warmth, richness, and a spicy-sweet character to fragrances, often as a heart or base note.
