Product Overview
Our organic Clove Bud essential oil has a rich, warm, sweet-spicy, eugenolic aroma with a peculiar, fresh-fruity top note. It is commonly used in Carnation and spicy perfumes and, in trace amounts, for imparting richness to almost any perfume.[1]
Clove Bud oil is dominated by eugenol, an important constituent used in the preservation of foods as well as in many oral care products. Clove Bud also contains beta-caryophyllene, a desirable component for those making massage blends. Be aware that some Clove Bud oils may be adulterated or extended with the abundant Clove leaf or stem oils that display little complexity in comparison.
Topically, in very small percentages, Clove Bud lends a warming appeal in massage oils to combat the chill of winter and is wonderful in the diffuser, especially with Orange, to freshen the air.
