Clove EO

About this material

Clove essential oil opens with a warm, spicy aroma that is immediately recognizable, featuring a strong, sweet, and slightly woody character. As it develops, the scent reveals a more complex profile with hints of earthiness and a subtle, almost medicinal quality that can add depth to a formula. In compositions, clove oil acts as a powerful accent, enhancing the warmth and richness of other notes, particularly in gourmand and oriental fragrances. It pairs well with citrus oils to balance its intensity, and can also complement vanilla and resinous notes. The typical dose in this catalogue is around 1.000%, with a range from 1.000% to 1.00%.
