Description

Harvested from the bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus, cinnamon is recognised for its distinctive fragrance and rich, earthy colour. Its curled bark releases a warm, sweet and spicy aroma, with a character that is both comforting and vibrant.

Our interpretation draws on this natural warmth, bringing a gentle spiced character and aromatic depth to our fragrance compositions.

Cultural Roots

Known as 桂皮 (guìpí) or 肉桂 (ròuguì) in Chinese, cinnamon has been part of Chinese life for centuries. Its bark was recorded in ancient herbal texts, including the Shennong Bencao Jing, where it was valued for its warming nature.

In traditional Chinese philosophy, warmth is closely connected to the concept of Yang (阳), representing energy, movement and vitality. Cinnamon became associated with these qualities, reflecting an understanding of nature through the balance of warmth and cold.
