Clove Bud

Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllata) delivers a sweet, spicy, warmly rich aroma - the deep, unmistakable scent of whole cloves. Steam-distilled from the flower buds, this pure essential oil is a strong middle-to-base note, beloved for cozy holiday diffuser blends and warm, spiced room atmospheres. Deeper and sweeter than Cinnamon Leaf, with lasting warmth. Clove Bud is a hot oil high in eugenol and a skin irritant, so use it with care and always patch-test.
