Cassia | Essential Oil | Cinnamomum cassia
Bold, warm, and deeply spiced — Cassia is cinnamon’s more intense, earthy cousin. Rich and grounding with a sweet, woody depth, it fills any space with the comforting warmth of a spice-laden kitchen.
Scent Profile | Warm, sweet, and boldly spicy with a rich cinnamon-like character and a slightly woody, earthy depth. Stronger and more intense than true cinnamon.
Aromatherapy Benefits | Warming, grounding, uplifting, energizing, comforting, mood-enhancing.
Usage Ideas | Add 2–3 drops to your diffuser for a warm, spiced atmosphere — use sparingly as the aroma is potent. Dilute to 0.5% or less in a carrier oil before any topical use. Blend with complementary oils to add bold, spicy warmth to seasonal diffuser blends. Use in homemade candles or soaps for a rich, warming fragrance.
