Cinnamon is a spice derived from tree bark, well-known as a cookery ingredient. But it's not just used in the kitchen. Cinnamon also makes a perfect ingredient for fragrance where it adds a sweet, spicy aroma. This appealing spice works well in perfumes for all genders. Why Cinnamon is Best in Fragrances Before we look at some of the most gorgeous cinnamon fragrances on the market, here's why cinnamon is so popular as a fragrance note. Cinnamon is sweet and sensuous and it's no surprise that it has been considered an aphrodisiac for many, many years. Fragrances containing cinnamon oil definitely very attractive. Cinnamon is so versatile when it comes to fragrance. It blends beautifully with a whole raft of other ingredients including lemon, lime, orange, neroli, grapefruit, ginger, cardamom, clove, sandalwood, and vanilla. The scent of cinnamon is nostalgic and there's nothing quite like it for invoking memories of Christmas, heartwarming wintry recipes and delicious hot drinks by a cozy fireside. Fragrances using cinnamon with its deliciously warm aroma are perfect to wear during cooler weather. With so many to choose from, what are the best cinnamon fragrances for women?
