Cinnamon
En kraftfuld, gennemtrængende duft med varme, peberagtige og indtrængende facetter. Kanel er elsket for sin evne til at tilføre krydret elegance til ambrede og træagtige kompositioner. Den dvæler længe efter, at andre dufte er forsvundet, og kanel udgør en pragtfuldt sensuel basisnote med sine varme, bløde og diskret søde nuancer.
I parfumeriet bruges kanel ofte til at skabe en følelse af komfort og varme, der minder om vinterens hyggeligste øjeblikke. Den parres smukt med vanilje, ambra, læder og harpikser, hvor dens krydrede karakter får lov at folde sig ud i hele sin pragt.
Kanel er en alsidig tone, der både kan optræde som et opvarmende krydderi i topnoterne og som en dyb, vedvarende basistone, der giver en duft en næsten gourmand-agtig sødme. Den er især elegant i orientalske og krydrede kompositioner.
Varm, peberagtig og sensuelt krydret - tilfører dybde og en vinterlig sødme.

Historie
A spice as old as civilization itself, the warm fragrance of cinnamon has delighted our nostrils, warmed our homes and enriched our cooking for centuries. The Chinese are recorded as having first used cinnamon in 5000 BC, and by 2000 BC the coveted tree bark was eagerly traded across the Mediterranean. Eventually, cinnamon made its way into Europe in the 17th century when it was traded by the Portuguese—who had colonized Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon).
Produktion
Cinnamon derives from an evergreen tree native to the warm, tropical climates of Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and parts of China. However, most cinnamon devotees will tell you that Sri Lankan cinnamon really takes the cake in terms of quality and value. To harvest the delightfully fragrant spice, the bark is removed from Cinnamomum verum trees every two years. Small pieces of the bark are scraped and air-dried for twenty-four hours. Once dried, the bark coils to form hollow sticks which are then inserted, one inside the other, before being cut evenly. To create the highly coveted cinnamon essence used in perfumery, these fragments undergo a process of steam distillation.
