Clove Leaf Essential Oil Steam Distilled 50ml

Warm, dark and spicy from the first breath, this is a close, firelit kind of aroma. This clove leaf essential oil is made for careful aromatherapy blending, bringing a bold spice note to quiet evening rituals, oil burners and considered home fragrance.

Warm spice with a deep, steady character

• The scent opens strong and spicy, with a dry intensity rather than a soft sweetness.
• It gives blends a darker, spice-cupboard warmth that sits low and steady.
• A little goes a long way, especially beside gentler citrus, floral or herbaceous oils.
• It suits autumn and winter rituals, or any moment when you want the room to feel more gathered.
• Use it with care in aromatherapy, as clove is a particularly potent essential oil.

Clove leaf, steam distilled in Indonesia

Botanically known as Eugenia caryophyllata, clove comes from a tree native to Indonesia and the Malacca Islands. This oil is taken from the leaves and obtained by steam distillation, a process that carries the aromatic character of the plant through steam rather than pressing it. The result is a concentrated spice oil with a clear, assertive presence.

How to use it with care

Dilute well before any skin use and patch test first. For room scenting, add it only according to the instructions for your diffuser or oil burner, keeping the blend light rather than heavy.

Avoid use during pregnancy or with children unless guided by a qualified professional. Keep essential oils away from pets, and store the bottle closed, upright and out of reach.

A spice with a long travelled story

Clove has been valued for centuries across Asia and the wider spice trade, moving from the Indonesian islands into India, China, the Arab trading world and eventually Europe. In ancient India and China, cloves were part of daily aromatic and cultural life, used for their distinctive fragrance as much as their place in traditional practices. Arab traders are said to have brought cloves towards Europe during the Roman period, making this small spice one of the early aromatics to travel between kitchens, perfumers and apothecaries.
