CLOVE
Clove is a warm, spicy, and intensely aromatic fragrance note with a sharp, pungent character. It has a rich, slightly sweet, and medicinal quality with a strong, penetrating scent that is both warming and stimulating. The aroma is distinctly peppery, with a deep and complex spicy profile that can be both comforting and invigorating.
Origin & Extraction
Clove is derived from the dried flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. The extraction is typically done through steam distillation of the dried flower buds, which produces an essential oil rich in eugenol. The clove trees are now cultivated in various tropical regions, including Indonesia, Madagascar, Zanzibar, and parts of India.
