Cloves (Madagascar)

Cloves from Madagascar are a warm and spicy fragrance note with a rich, slightly sweet scent profile that carries subtle woody and peppery undertones. Their aroma is intense, bold, and exotic, adding a comforting and invigorating quality to perfumes. Cloves impart a warm, spicy character and are often used as a middle or base note to create depth and richness in fragrance compositions. They pair beautifully with floral, citrus, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are sophisticated, warm, and full of character.

History & Production: Cloves come from the dried flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), which is cultivated in Madagascar and valued for its potent aroma and flavor. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the dried buds, capturing the rich, spicy essence. In perfumery, Madagascan cloves are prized for their intensity and ability to add a warm, exotic depth that enhances the complexity and allure of fragrances, evoking a sense of warmth and spice.
