Clove Buds

Clove buds are a warm and spicy fragrance note with a rich, slightly woody scent profile that carries subtle sweet and earthy undertones. Their aroma is bold, invigorating, and exotic, adding a distinctive and aromatic quality to perfumes. Clove buds impart a deep, spicy character and are often used as a middle or base note to bring warmth and complexity to fragrance compositions. They pair beautifully with woody, floral, and citrus notes, contributing to fragrances that are bold, sophisticated, and full of charm.

History & Production: Clove buds, harvested from the unopened flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, are native to the Maluku Islands (Indonesia) and have been valued for their rich aroma and medicinal properties for centuries. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation, capturing the warm, spicy essence of the buds. In perfumery, clove buds are prized for their ability to add a vibrant, aromatic depth that enhances the richness and warmth of fragrances, evoking a sense of exotic heritage and timeless sophistication.
