Cinnamon fragrances

Cinnamon is the extrovert of the spice rack: instantly recognizable, warm to the point of glowing, and capable of carrying a whole fragrance when a perfumer lets it. In scent it reads less like the baking aisle and more like mulled wine, red-gold, festive, slightly boozy. Khamrah is the note's current champion, dates and cinnamon poured thick, one of the best value winter scents anywhere; Bad Boy crackles it over pepper and cocoa; Boss Bottled has quietly run apple-and-cinnamon for decades, which is why it smells like every smart-casual office in Europe. Cinnamon scents are cold-weather machines with serious projection, so wear them from November to February and spray like you mean it, twice.
