Why we picked it
-
A single-ingredient clove-bud oil with nothing added — distilled, not a synthetic 'clove fragrance'.
-
Distilled from the bud rather than the cheaper leaf or stem.
-
No solvents or DPG, the usual dilutants in oils sold as 'fragrance oil'.
-
It comes in amber glass, which keeps light off an oil that degrades in a clear bottle.
What to look for in an Essential Oil?
What to look for in an Essential Oil?
- 01One line on the ingredients is what you want: the botanical name and nothing else. A 'fragrance oil' or 'perfume oil' is a different product entirely.
- 02Check which part of the plant was distilled. Bud, leaf and stem oils are all sold as clove, and they are not the same thing.
- 03Solvents and DPG are used to extend an oil and stretch the bottle. A pure oil names no carrier at all.
- 04Amber or cobalt glass, never clear and never plastic — light and plastic both degrade an essential oil.
- 05An essential oil is potent. It is diluted into a carrier oil before it touches skin, and it is never swallowed.
What's inside
Distilled from dried flower buds. 100% pure, not for undiluted skin use.

Questions people ask
Can I use it neat on skin?
No. Clove is one of the most potent essential oils and can irritate skin even once diluted. Always dilute it in a carrier such as coconut oil and patch-test first.
Can I use it for toothache or on gums?
Not without professional guidance. It is for aromatherapy and diluted topical use only, and not for internal use.
Is it suitable for children?
No. It is not for use on children.
How can I use it?
Add a few drops to a diffuser for a warm, spiced room, or dilute it in water or solubol to make a room spray.
Why does it matter that it's bud oil?
Bud, leaf and stem oils are all sold as clove and are not the same. This is distilled from the dried flower buds, with no solvents or DPG added, in amber glass.
