Was expecting it to smell just like cinnamon but it's a little more "synthetic" smelling. Still a great product and cheaper than cinnamon
I have been looking for a dupe for cinnamon EO for a long time now, as it can be rather costly and often out of stock at many online stockists! I love the quality of PureNature's oils and knew I could trust them to provide the goods! Smelling this oil, I immediately thought of cinnamon - warm, sweet, and somewhat almost floral (which I feel is the point of difference between cassia and cinnamon).
Absolutely wonderful in soy candles OR diffused with sweet orange EO.
Strength: 4/5
Colour: Light orange; could change colouring of your waxes, butters, or oils. No drastic impact, from my experience.
Smells like a sweeter cinnamon. Lovely in my diffuser.
