Beyond the world-famous cinnamon bark lies another hidden treasure of the Ceylon cinnamon tree: its aromatic leaves. Carefully harvested and traditionally steam distilled, these leaves yield a warm, spicy essential oil with a bold and distinctive fragrance. Rich in natural aromatic compounds, Cinnamon Leaf Oil captures a deeper, more intense expression of Sri Lanka’s legendary cinnamon heritage.
At Qedra, our Pure Ceylon Cinnamon Leaf Oil is crafted to bring this powerful natural aroma into your home through carefully designed aromatic experiences.
What Is Cinnamon Leaf Oil?
Cinnamon Leaf Oil is a natural essential oil obtained through the steam distillation of the leaves of Cinnamomum verum, also known as True or Ceylon Cinnamon. Unlike cinnamon bark oil, which is sweeter and softer in aroma, leaf oil is stronger, warmer, and spicier, with slightly clove-like undertones.
