EUGENOL EX CLOVE

INCI name: Eugenol

Origin: Clove leaves

Extraction method: Fractional distillation

DESCRIPTION

Natural Eugenol is a plant-derived aromatic isolate sustainably obtained from natural essential oils such as clove. Its scent is warm, spicy, and slightly woody, with sweet, balsamic, and subtly smoky nuances that evoke the richness of clove buds and oriental spices.

It is a key ingredient in natural and classical perfumery, where it brings body, depth, and persistence. It is also used in cosmetics for its enveloping aroma and its aromatic, purifying properties.

Although it is a single natural molecule, Eugenol stands out for its bold, warm, and refined character, capable of transforming any composition into an authentic olfactory experience.

PERFUMERY

In perfumery, Natural Eugenol is a highly versatile heart–base note, used to add warmth, character, and depth to spicy, floral, and oriental fragrances.

Its clove-like, woody, sweet-resinous aroma gives compositions a warm and sophisticated signature, making it essential in chypre, ambery, gourmand, and spicy floral accords.

It pairs beautifully with ylang-ylang, rose, patchouli, vanilla, sandalwood, and cinnamon, acting as a harmonious bridge between floral notes and darker, resinous facets.
Used in moderation, it adds an elegant, aromatic touch with a natural, oriental charm.

Olfactory family: Spicy

Olfactory pyramid: Heart–Base Note

COSMETICS

In cosmetics, Natural Eugenol is valued for its warm, spicy aroma, which enriches creams, oils, and body products with a refined and enveloping scent.

Thanks to its purifying and mildly toning properties, it is used in aromatic formulations for skin and scalp, helping refresh and rebalance. In fragranced products or natural balms, it adds a warm, spicy dimension that makes each treatment sensorial and distinctive.

Being naturally sourced, it is ideal for eco-friendly and clean beauty lines, where authenticity and transparency are essential values.
