Three different oils carry the name clove: bud, leaf and stem. Leaf oil is the most widely sold and the least costly. Bud oil is taken from the unopened flower bud and holds the rounder, sweeter aroma the spice is known for.
01 · Origin
Syzygium aromaticum is an evergreen tree of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. The buds are picked as they turn from green to pink and dried before they open. This oil is distilled in Madagascar from those buds, from certified organic cultivation (DE-ÖKO-007).
02 · Chemistry
Eugenol, a phenol, dominates. Eugenyl acetate is the constituent that separates bud oil from leaf oil, where it is scarce, and gives the bud its fruity softness. Beta-caryophyllene supplies a dry, woody undertone. Eugenol is strong on skin, so the oil is used at low dilution.
03 · In Practice
Rich, warm and spicy, with a sweet, fruity edge. A middle note of strong diffusive power. Diffusion, massage blends at low dilution, natural perfumery and seasonal blends. Blends with orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, bergamot, rose, ylang ylang and vanilla.
General information: For external use only. Dilute before applying to skin. Keep away from heat and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
