Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Essential oil Cassia bark has a woody, spicy scent that is not particularly
strong and therefore does not need to be diluted before mixing. It blends well
with other spice scents, ambers, and floral scents such as carnation, rose, and
lavender. In gourmand fragrances, it's a good modifier to soften the sweetness
of these scents. It's a component of the scent of traditional brown Windsor
soap. Cassia adds a hint of spice. Typically, between 0,1% and 5% of this
substance is used in fragrance compositions. In perfumes, it primarily forms a
heart to base note and is fairly stable in most products. It's also frequently
used in soap, although not much of the cinnamaldehyde present in the oil remains
when used. Cassia oil can cause discolouration in the final product.

Properties (Hekserij)
Essential oil Cassia bark is a yellow to brown liquid at room temperature. The
substance has a relatively long shelf life. The oil is produced by steam
distillation from the bark of Cinnamomum cassia (L.) J.Presl., a close relative
of true cinnamon. To distinguish between the two, Cassia is also called "Chinese
cinnamon". Note: Cassia and Cassie are unrelated; they are simply names that
coincidentally resemble each other. Like any essential oil, this one is a
mixture of various substances. The composition is as follows:
> 25% - Cinnamic aldehyde
2-5% - Beta Caryophyllene, Coumarin, Phellandrene
1-2% - Eugenol, Limonene
