INCI: Syzygium aromaticum

Umuthi Clove Bud Pure Essential Oil is a concentrated essential oil from the buds of Syzygium aromaticum . It has a naturally strong, warm, spicy character and is used in aromatic blends, fragrance work, cleaning-style formulations, and carefully diluted massage blends. Clove bud oil is considered a “hot” essential oil, so it must be used with extra care and at low dilution. It is not suitable for direct application to the skin or for internal use.

♡ Why we love it: Clove Bud brings bold warmth and unmistakable spice to a blend. It is powerful, distinctive, and useful when a formulation needs a strong aromatic anchor, especially in seasonal, spice-led, or cleaning-style blends.
