Clove Essential Oil

INCI Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Bud Oil

Overview

A warm, spicy essential oil distilled from clove buds.

What it is

Clove Essential Oil is distilled from dried clove buds, the same spice found in kitchens worldwide. It carries a warm, spicy, slightly sweet aroma.

Where it comes from and how it’s made

Clove trees are grown widely across tropical regions, particularly Indonesia and Madagascar. The dried flower buds are steam-distilled to draw out their essential oil.

What it does in a formulation

Contributes a warm, spicy note to a finished product’s scent profile.

Why Lovebee uses it

Clove brings such a distinctive warmth — it’s the kind of note that instantly says “cozy” the moment it shows up in a blend. We like using it in small amounts to add depth to spice-forward scents.

Good to know

Used throughout our blended topical products; sold on its own as a single-note oil, it’s intended for diffuser use only.
One of the more potent, spice-forward oils in our diffuser lineup.

Common questions

What does Clove Essential Oil smell like?

Warm, spicy, and slightly sweet — instantly recognizable from the kitchen spice.

Is Clove Essential Oil the same as the whole spice?

It’s distilled from the same clove buds, though cosmetic and culinary sourcing and processing differ.

Can I apply this essential oil directly to my skin?

Not as a standalone oil — on its own, it’s intended for diffuser use only. You’ll already find it safely blended into a number of our topical products, though.
