Description
"Clove Essential Oil" is steam-distilled from the dried flower buds of Eugenia caryophyllata, a spice tree native to Indonesia. This oil carries a bold, spicy aroma with warm, woody undertones, making it a powerful addition to aromatherapy. Known for its stimulating and purifying properties, clove oil is often used to enhance focus and refresh indoor spaces. Its rich, spicy complexity blends well with cinnamon, ginger, and citrus oils, making it a valuable ingredient in warming and energizing formulations.
