    Yes, I’m talking about Clove, essential oil. And the warm notes of Clove hide sensual amber notes.

    I like to pair Clove with Copaiba Balsam. Steam distilled from delicately wild-crafted resin from deep in the rainforests of Brazil.

    Clove provides expert perfumers with an ingredient that provides a touch of the exotic. Yes, it’s an essential component in many of today’s most expensive perfumes.

    I paired Clove with Copaiba Balsam in my Clove Soap bar formulation. It sold well globally from 2006 until we shut up shop in 2024.

    I hate clove but its such an amazing scent when combined in small amounts with other ingredients. I used it in my lemongrass lotion and it was one of my favorite scents. I hate lemongrass and clove but combined in small amounts is very enticing.

      Yes indeed, with clove, a little goes a long way, and it can really transform an ordinary product.
