Clove Bud CO2.
Clove bud as a CO2 select, from organically grown buds extracted in Germany: softer and sweeter than distilled clove, a spice that plays well with others rather than taking over.

About this product
Every spice blend has one voice that tries to take over the room. This clove does not. Softer and sweeter than its distilled cousin and far less assertive, this CO2 select extract is an aromatic delight, made for blends where it plays well with the other oils instead of moving in and taking charge.
It is Syzygium aromaticum, extracted in Germany from organically grown dried buds. Compared with the distilled oil it is richer in eugenol acetate and much higher in beta-caryophyllene, which, as Mark Webb notes, makes it milder on the skin than its steam-distilled counterpart. Mild is relative, though: it remains a strong skin and mucous membrane irritant, an oil to use with caution and respect.
Details
- Botanical name: Syzygium aromaticum
- Origin: organically grown dried buds, extracted in Germany
- Method: CO2 select extraction

How to use
Use it in diffuser blends and room sprays. On skin, use it only at very low dilution, below 0.75 percent. Avoid it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, do not use it on children, and avoid it if you take blood thinners. Store it dark and refrigerated.
A gentler clove for the long, slow blending of winter evenings.
