The aroma of Cinnamon Leaf is warm, and spicy but notas sweet as cinnamon bark. It shares similar nuances with clove leaf but is definitely uniquely cinnamon. The scent does not last as long as cinnamon bark either , however cinnamon leaf oil is much safer to use in almost all applications because it is less likely to cause irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. According to Robert Tisserand in Essential Oil Safety (1995) Churchill LIvingstone Press- Cinnamon bark oil is also a strong sensitizer- and who wants to be allergic to something they love!

Clove and Cinnamon leaf blend well together. It also blends well with citrus oils, especially orange. Other good combinations are peppermint, bay, and vanilla. Cinnamon leaf oil makes an excellent room diffuser oil.
