Eugenol (CAS# 97-53-0) is an aromatic phenolic compound, best known as the key component responsible for the characteristic scent of clove oil. Its odour profile is warmly spicy with a clear clove note, slightly smoky, mildly sweet and balsamic, with a subtle medicinal / antiseptic nuance. Thanks to its strong, highly recognizable character, Eugenol is often used as a backbone material in warm spicy compositions, especially in clove, carnation, oriental–spicy themes and woody–resinous–balsamic accords.
In perfumery composition, Eugenol is an essential building block for clove accords, classical carnation notes, and warm spice effects in oriental, fougère and chypre structures. It is also used to add depth and warmth to woody, vanillic and balsamic bases. At low dosage, Eugenol works like a seasoning that brings realism and vibrancy to floral and spicy notes; at higher levels it pushes a bold clove–spice character, ideal for rich, vintage-style and warm, enveloping creations.
Eugenol has high odour strength and is therefore typically used at low concentration in formulas, both to control its spiciness and to ensure a smooth blend with floral, resinous, woody and vanillic materials. Besides alcoholic fine fragrances, it can also be used in fragrance compounds for personal care and selected home care applications where a warm clove–spice note is desired to evoke cosiness, festive atmospheres or a classically elegant mood.
