Cinnamic alcohol

Cinnamic Alcohol is a fragrance ingredient valued in perfumery for its soft, balsamic, and floral-spicy character. Its scent profile is typically described as sweet, warm, and slightly cinnamon-like, combined with elegant floral nuances reminiscent of hyacinth, and subtle honeyed undertones that add richness and depth.

The material usually appears as a white crystalline solid or low-melting solid, which can become a clear liquid upon gentle warming. It is appreciated for its smooth diffusion and refined aromatic presence, contributing a soft and natural warmth to fragrance compositions.

Cinnamic Alcohol is especially valued for its ability to bridge floral and balsamic-spicy facets, providing a rounded and natural warmth without the sharpness associated with stronger spice materials like cinnamic aldehyde.

In practical perfumery, Cinnamic Alcohol is frequently used to enhance hyacinth, lilac, and floral accords, while also adding warmth and softness to oriental and balsamic compositions. It blends particularly well with rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, balsamic resins, honey notes, and soft spicy materials, making it suitable for many fragrance styles including floral perfumes, soft spicy florals, oriental compositions, and classic elegant fragrances.
