Clove Bud Essential Oil
|
 Botanical Name: Syzgium aromaticum
Plant Part: Buds
Extraction Method: Steam
Origin: Indonesia
Description: Clove is derived from the tree Syzgium aromaticum. It is a slender evergreen that grows up to 12 meters in height (approximately 36 feet). At the start of the rainy season, long buds appear. They change color over time and are beaten from the trees and dried. These are the cloves sold commercially.
Color: Light Golden Yellow
Common Uses: Clove bud essential oil is an effective agent for minor pains and aches (particular dental pain), and is helpful when battling flu and colds.
Consistency: Medium
Note: Middle
Strength of Aroma: Medium to Strong
Blends well with: other spice oils, citronella, grapefruit, lemon, orange, peppermint, rosemary, and rose.
Aromatic Scent: Clove Bud essential oil smells spicy and rich like actual cloves.
History: The word clove comes from the Latin word clavus, meaning nail, since the shaft and head of the clove bud resembles a nail. Cloves and nutmeg were among the most precious of items of Europe of the 16th and 17th centuries, and they were worth more than their weight in gold.
Cautions: Clove Bud oil can cause sensitization in some and should be used in dilution. It should also be avoided during pregnancy.

I love this oil - I used it in a balm bar with cedarwood and it smells sooooo good. Not floral but not too butch either so either men or women like it. My nephew tried it and loved it.
I'm so glad I found this site - thanks NDA!

I orginally purchased clove bud because of it's wonderful scent and high ORAC rating 1,078,700uTE/100g. I've blended it in one of my fall smudges and also with Cinnamon floral water. Because it antitumoral, antimicorbial, antifungal, antiviral, analgesic/anesthetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic and is supposedly used in Marseilles Vinegar the original grave robbers mo durning time of the plague I used it on my husbands neck lump. His doctor declared it a fatty tumor and didn't do anything about it but I noticed it kept growing. So being really into EO's and knowing it properties I applied a small drop or two to the lump. After one week it shrunk in size by half. At that point I noticed a small puncture mark. I applied pressure an a substance came out. I kept applying the clove oil and again it shrunk. This time another puncture mark appeared - he had a spider bite. The applying of oil went on for months along with releasing the stuff inside. I'm happy to report that he is now tumor free! It was amazing to see how the stuff inside his neck really didn't like the Clove oil and would make it's way out fast when applied to his neck. My husband isn't really into this stuff but now sings the praises of your clove oil to everyone! Thanks again for your high quality oils. I'd say you have a customer for life.

Has a great smell - and the eugenol content is appreciable since it definitely works as a numbing agent.

Everyone needs to keep this in the medicine cabinet for those awful toothaches. It reminds me of the that Jiffy stuff that you would find in grocery stores back in the 70's and 80's that was used for dental pain. To me its basically the same stuff and works much better. It's also great in cold process soaps, yummy mixed with patchouli and orange.

A most lovely fragrance when mixed a small amount with a light carrier oil and lavender. A fragrance similar to expensive brands like Chanel, or Lagerfeld...Addictive fragrance. However, skin may be very sensitive to it. Must use essential oil guidelines and patch test.

This oil smells amazing! A nice warm, Clove scent -pure and strong. I used this in a blend with Vetiver,Ylang Ylang, and Patchouli. The Patchouli and Clove were in the base notes, giving wonderful support to Vetiver and Ylang Ylang. Everyone should have this oil in their collection.

This is a great oil. I love mixing it with cinnamon and orange. All during the Christmas season, I have had that be my scent. The house always smells like Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner! Yum! When my husband and I were selling our old house, we used clove bud to neutralize the odor in the basement. The relator was impressed at how quickly the smell was gone, and said the basement actually smelled good when people walked through it.

I bought the clove bud oil because the clove leaf oil I had was too pungent and acrid for my tastes. I was disappointed that this oil is still pungent and acrid, and doesn't smell as much like cloves as I expected.

Fantastic aroma - warm, spicy, and fresh. Very little goes a long way. I use in a blend of orange, lavender, and cedarwood for CP soap – very seductive scent.

I've tried using clove oil before, but every clove EO I purchased had a pungent, acrid smell - nothing at all like actual cloves. There's none of that with this oil - it smells exactly the way it should: warm, rich and spicy. I haven't had time to blend it yet, but I'm already looking forward to blending it with vanilla and blood orange. Heaven!

Smells just like the spice that you use in cooking. Many applications...my favorite being that it is reported to keep mosquitos away just as effectively as deet. My family loves the scent and because of the holidays, I've been adding a few drops to my mop water and they love how it makes the house smell!

This is a wonderfully fragrant oil. It smells good enough to eat. In fact; go ahead and add a few drops to your next baked ham!! Clove is also a great quick fix for a toothache.
