Cloves
Extracted from Indonesian flower buds by steam distillation, the Clove essential oil reveals a warm, spicy signature reminiscent of Asian markets. In short-term diffusion, it supports a comforting and respiratory-friendly atmosphere. For wellness massage, it should be incorporated at a very low percentage for a sensation of tonicity and warmth. Rich in eugenol, it is potent and requires strict dilution, making it a technical essence ideal for targeted and controlled rituals.
