CINNAMON FROM MADAGASCAR

Cinnamon from Madagascar brings a warm, sweet-spicy bark reference to perfume. The country produces Cinnamomum verum, the same species known as Ceylon cinnamon, so these names need not describe different plants. A soft sweetness can sit alongside the spice, while the material chosen determines how woody, powdery or syrupy the impression becomes.

Biolandes documents a Madagascan bark oil obtained by distillation with a mild, sweet, spicy odour. It also offers a cinnamon bark absolute from Madagascar, described as having woody and syrupy facets. These are useful examples of how one origin can supply different aromatic forms. In perfume, the note can fit a fruity, floral or spiced composition; it does not have to read as pastry. The origin label alone confirms neither a specific extract nor its presence in every fragrance.
