Cloves

Cloves bring a rich, warm, and spicy note to perfumes, adding depth and an exotic touch. Their scent profile is robust and slightly sweet, with earthy and woody undertones that evoke warmth and comfort. Cloves are often used as a middle or base note, enhancing the complexity of a fragrance and lending a touch of spiciness that balances well with florals, woods, and resins. This aromatic note creates a sophisticated and bold element in both classic and modern perfumes.

History & Production: Cloves have a long history, originating in the Maluku Islands, also known as the Spice Islands of Indonesia. Valued for centuries, they were once worth their weight in gold and played a significant role in trade routes. Clove oil is extracted through steam distillation of the dried flower buds of the Syzgium aromaticum tree, producing an essential oil rich in eugenol, which gives cloves their characteristic scent. This warm, spicy note continues to be a beloved addition in perfumery, adding a touch of exotic warmth and complexity to fragrance compositions.
