Considering that cinnamon is a hot spice, it would stand to reason that your sense of smell would react. However, it might have a type of paradoxal effect, in that it would heat up/open up the bodies pores, which might then act as a cooling action. What do you think? I'm just tossing this out there hypothetically.

ETA

I should have clarified that the cinnamon in a bath would be the action that would have the paradoxal effect. Whereas smelling cinnamon eo would go straight to the brain and cause a hotflash reaction.
