Clove Leaf Description
Clove Leaf Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, native to Indonesia and widely cultivated for its fragrant and potent properties. Though similar in composition to Clove Bud oil, Clove Leaf offers a slightly milder aroma with the same warm, spicy, and sweet notes. This pale yellow to brownish oil is valued for its eugenol-rich profile and is commonly used in natural cleaning, oral care, massage, and aromatherapy blends that aim to invigorate the senses and purify the air.
