About this product
A pomander studded with cloves, a mulled cup on the stove, and that dark, sweet spice in every corner of the house. Clove bud oil is Eugenia caryophyllata, organically produced and steam-distilled from the flower buds in Madagascar, and it is very high in eugenol.
In the diffuser or aroma lamp it is a stimulating, useful part of a blend, and a single drop sweetens the scent of sharper, more austere oils such as niaouli. It blends well with basil, black pepper, cajeput, cinnamon, ginger, lavender, lemon, marjoram, nutmeg, orange, peppermint, rosemary and thyme. It is also an oil to use with caution and respect.
Details
- Botanical name: Eugenia caryophyllata
- Origin: Madagascar, organically produced
- Method: steam-distilled from the flower buds
- Shelf life: about 3 to 4 years after opening
How to use
Use it in the diffuser or lamp, in small amounts. Clove is a known skin and mucous membrane irritant and sensitizer: keep it off the skin, or if you must use it there, dilute it to less than 1 percent, and never apply it to broken or irritated skin. Avoid it entirely if you take blood thinners. Store it dark and refrigerated.
The oldest warmth in the spice cabinet, handled with care.
