Clove leaf oil contains a high concentration of eugenol, a compound that makes up 80-90% of its composition and accounts for its characteristic scent.
Different oils with distinct aromatic profiles are produced from the same plant: leaf oil is more woody and minty, while bud oil is sweeter and more pungent.
Cloves have been used for centuries in the traditional medicine of many cultures, with the earliest recorded uses dating back to ancient China (around 200 BC), where they were chewed to freshen breath before audiences with the emperor.
