Clove Oil

Clove oil (Syzygium aromaticum) has a long history of use in regions where clove trees are cultivated, with Zanzibar playing a central role in both production and trade. Traditionally obtained through steam distillation of dried clove buds, the oil has been regarded as a highly concentrated botanical material and handled with care.

Within traditional herbal and aromatic practices, clove oil was commonly incorporated into diluted blends, infused plant mixtures, and scent-based preparations. Its strong, warm, and penetrating aroma made it a distinctive component in aromatic rituals and ceremonial contexts, where intensity and atmosphere were considered essential elements.

In various cultural traditions, clove oil has also been associated with warmth, closeness, and sensory richness, and was included in preparations linked to social and intimate settings. These associations form part of the broader cultural history of clove use, shaped by symbolism, experience, and long-standing plant knowledge.

The oil naturally contains aromatic plant compounds, most notably eugenol, which define its characteristic spicy scent and concentrated profile. These constituents are inherent to the clove bud and form the basis of its traditional appreciation.

Our clove oil is distilled in Zanzibar from carefully selected cloves and offered in its pure, undiluted form. Highly aromatic and intense, it reflects both the climate of its origin and the traditional methods used in its production.
