There’s something about the scent of cinnamon that makes you feel instantly cozy and content. At Colugo Candles, we’re big fans of this spicy-sweet fragrance, and we’re thrilled to include it in our candle lineup including our bestsellers LUXE Cinnamon Embrace and MECE Cinnamon & Mint. But what is it about cinnamon that makes it such a global favourite?
A Brief History of Cinnamon
Did you know that cinnamon has been a prized spice for thousands of years? Ancient Egyptians used it in their embalming process (talk about a lasting scent!), while the Romans valued it so highly that they considered it a luxury commodity. It was used in medieval Europe for everything from preserving meat to masking unpleasant smells and even believed to hold protective powers against illness. In the 16th century, cinnamon became the target of fierce trade competition, with explorers racing to exotic lands to secure this treasured bark.
Today, cinnamon’s historical prestige has become a cherished household staple in kitchens, perfumes, and, of course, candles. Its comforting, warming fragrance continues to symbolise luxury and timeless appeal.
Benefits of Cinnamon Scent
In addition to its delicious aroma, cinnamon has a multitude of wellness benefits, which is why it’s beloved in aromatherapy. Here are just a few perks of cinnamon’s uplifting fragrance:
- Mood Booster: The warm, rich notes of cinnamon can help reduce stress and enhance a sense of calm. It’s an ideal scent for unwinding after a long day or setting a relaxing tone for your space.
- Focus Enhancer: Cinnamon has been shown to improve concentration and focus, making it a wonderful addition to any workspace or study room.
- Seasonal Comfort: Whether it’s autumn, winter, or a rainy spring day, cinnamon brings a cozy touch that’s just right for snuggling in with a good book or indulging in some self-care.
- Air Purifier: Cinnamon’s antimicrobial properties add to its charm by purifying the air naturally.
