Blends beautifully with

Cassia pairs with resin, spice and citrus oils (used sparingly), including:

Benzoin Clove Bud Coriander Cardamom Frankincense Ginger Grapefruit Lavender Rosemary

Chinese Cinnamon

Cassia, native to China and Burma, is commonly known as Chinese cinnamon. Its bark is used to flavour food and beverages much like true cinnamon, and its essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs (and sometimes the bark).

It is a close relative of true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), sharing the cinnamaldehyde character while being generally bolder.

Harvesting & Extraction

Cassia essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs, concentrating its cinnamaldehyde-rich, warm-spicy fraction. Learn more about how we work on our distillation of essential oil page.

Common Uses

Across perfumery, wellness and traditional practice, this oil is valued for:

  • Flavouring — a warm cinnamon note in confectionery and beverages, used in trace amounts.
  • Perfumery — a bold spicy note for oriental and gourmand accords, used sparingly.
  • Aromatherapy — a warming, comforting note used well diluted.
  • Festive fragrance — a classic spiced note for seasonal blends.
Caution: Cassia is cinnamaldehyde-rich and a strong skin and mucous-membrane irritant and sensitiser — use at very low levels, dilute heavily, patch test and observe dermal limits. For external use only. Avoid during pregnancy and keep away from children. Consult a professional if under medical care.
