Clove Bud Essential Oil
Couldn't load pickup availability
Extracted from the dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum—a species indigenous to Indonesia—clove bud essential oil opens with a warm, spicy-sweet, intensely rich aroma that recalls traditional herbal apothecaries and the familiar kitchen spice. Its primary constituents are eugenol (70–85%), eugenyl acetate, and β-caryophyllene, noted for cleansing, antifungal, and comforting properties.
In aromatherapy, this oil is used to ease fatigue, stimulate the senses, and soothe tension. In personal care, it appears in toothpastes, mouthwashes, antibacterial soaps, and cleansing rinses for its naturally purifying character. In perfumery, clove provides a masculine, phenolic accent; its eugenol content is also a building block for synthesizing vanillin, the iconic vanilla note.

Blending
Because clove is strong, pungent, and assertive, treat it as an accent in blends: dilute to 1–10% within your composition and use sparingly. It softens and rounds florals (Rose, Geranium, Ylang-Ylang), adds depth and realism to woods, resins, and fruity accords, and is a signature nuance in Oriental/Amber and Gourmand creations—warm, spicy, and intriguingly sweet.
Aromatherapy
Historically, clove bud oil has been used for toothaches and general aches, to ease respiratory discomfort, support digestion, and for its antimicrobial and antioxidant potential. In aromatherapy, it may calm the mind, reduce stress, and support deeper, more restful sleep. In skincare, it’s cited for anti-aging, blemish care, brightening, and moisturising effects. Safety: always perform a patch test to check for sensitivity, and when applying to skin, follow IFRA guidance for appropriate dilution to avoid irritation.
Therapeutic properties
Use only under the guidance of a doctor and aromatherapy specialists.
Do not self-administer essential oils for ingestion or medical treatment.

Can I get a sample?
Scent does not offer free samples of its high-quality products. However, you can purchase 10ml sample at a special discounted price compared to the market price.
Are the prices on the website inclusive of VAT?
The listed prices do not include the 8% VAT.
Does Scent have a store where I can try the products?
You can visit Scent's showroom in Ho Chi Minh City to explore fragrances and experience the products firsthand.
However, with the aim of becoming an online provider of fragrance products in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Scent does not open additional branches. This approach helps optimize costs and allows us to offer you high-quality products at the best prices in the market.
Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin?
Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin; otherwise, their high concentration may cause irritation.
Can pregnant women use essential oils?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils, as they can affect hormones and the impact on the baby during development is not well understood.
What is the difference between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances?
Essential oils are extracted from parts of plants, are entirely natural, and have therapeutic properties. In contrast, synthetic fragrances are created in a lab and contain artificial components.
How can I ensure that the essential oil is pure?
Scent.vn works directly with reputable global partners, inspecting their facilities and sourcing regions to ensure authenticity. We also conduct GCMS tests on each product to verify its components and quality.
How should essential oils be stored after purchase?
You should store essential oils in aluminum or dark glass bottles, away from sunlight, and at a temperature between 0 to 20℃.
Can I become a distributor of essential oils?
Scent.vn focuses on direct sales to maintain quality control and therefore does not offer a distributor program for this product line. However, you can purchase essential oils in bulk from Scent.vn and sell them under your own brand.
