Frequently asked questions
Are cinnamon perfumes only for winter?
Not necessarily, although they are more often associated with autumn and winter. Cinnamon adds warmth and depth, which makes it especially pleasant in cold weather. However, in lighter compositions or paired with fresh notes, it can also work in spring, early autumn or on summer evenings.
Is cinnamon sweet or spicy in perfumery?
It depends on how it is formulated. Paired with vanilla, caramel or gourmand notes, cinnamon smells sweeter. Blended with spices such as clove or cardamom, its character becomes drier and slightly peppery. It is a versatile note that can lean towards either profile.
Are cinnamon perfumes more masculine or unisex?
Historically they appeared more often in masculine oriental or woody perfumes, but today they are completely unisex. With flowers and sweet notes, cinnamon feels more enveloping and sensual. With woods and intense spices, more robust and deep.
