What the scent brings to light in the subconscious
Cinnamon scent may highlight the inner state of losing a sense of meaning in relation to society.
It often emerges when a person no longer feels that their values or contributions matter —
or when human interaction becomes hollow, exhausting, or disconnected.
The scent gently reveals this inner estrangement and invites a return to embodied warmth and quiet presence.
Cultural Roots & Traditions
Cinnamon has been used as a sacred substance for millennia:
— in Ancient Egypt for embalming rituals,
— in Jewish tradition as part of the Temple incense (Ketoret),
— in Ayurveda as a symbol of life energy (agni),
— in Tibetan medicine to stimulate inner fire and circulation.
In medieval Europe, it was a symbol of passion, body, sacred intimacy, and the fire of faith.
