Clove Bud ~ Certified Organic

Clove Bud ~ Certified Organic delivers a rich, warm, sweetly spicy aroma - the deep, unmistakable scent of whole cloves. Steam-distilled from the flower buds of USDA Certified Organic clove trees grown in Sri Lanka, this pure essential oil is a strong middle-to-base note for cozy holiday diffusion, warm spice blends, and seasonal room mists. Naturally high in eugenol, the constituent behind its warm-spice character. Use sparingly - clove is powerful and will lead any blend.
