Umuthi Clove Leaf Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the leaves of Syzygium aromaticum . It has a strong, spicy aroma and is used in aromatic blends, home fragrance, cleaning-style products, and carefully diluted massage blends. Clove leaf oil is naturally potent and should be used with caution at low dilution. It is different from clove bud oil, as it comes from the leaf rather than the flower bud.
♡ Why we love it: Clove Leaf gives a bold, spicy warmth that works well in practical aromatic blends. It is especially useful when a formulation needs a strong clove character, but still calls for a leaf-derived oil rather than clove bud.
