Fun story about cinnamon.
Early in my career, I worked on a project trying to properly design a porous polymer that could be used to slowly release fragrances into a room or a dryer.
One of compounds we played with was cinnamaldehyde, which is the principal odor component in cinnamon.
I took a 2 ounce vial of it and kept it in my glove compartment. Every month or so, I'd put one drop on each front seat floor mat. Car smelled like cinnamon for a couple years!
