Clove Leaf Pure Essential Oil 10 ml — Steam‑Distilled, Ember‑Spice Focus

Pantry‑warm and ember‑bright—a spark of old‑world spice on a winter night.

Steam‑distilled from the leaves of the clove tree (Eugenia caryophyllata), this potent oil opens hot‑spicy and sweet‑woody with a familiar clove‑bud glow. A little goes a very long way. Best used in tiny amounts to add festive warmth to citrus and woods in room sprays and seasonal diffuser blends.

Clove leaf brings a distinct warming feel in massage oils and a lively, spiced clarity to the air. For skin use, keep dilutions extremely low and avoid sensitive areas—clove is a known irritant for many.
