Cinnamyl cinnamate has a sweet, balsamic aroma that blends well with heavy floral notes, reminiscent of storax and peruvian balsam.

Arctander puts it like this “very mild, but very tenacious balsamic-floral, soft odor. hardly any spice note at all. useful as a fixative in heavy florals, exotic florals, carnation type fragrances, hyacinth, tuberose, etc. and in smaller amounts in magnolia and similar fragrance types. it blends also well with labdanum, patchouli and oakmoss.”
