Clove Perfumes
Clove smells warm, dry and intensely spicy. Alongside peppery heat, it has subtle sweetness and can recall cinnamon, allspice or spicy carnation petals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is clove the same as carnation?
No. Clove is the dried flower bud used as a spice. Carnations are flowers, although their eugenol content can give them a similarly spicy scent.
Why does clove recall cinnamon?
Both have warm, dry spicy facets. Clove usually feels more peppery and distinctive, while cinnamon often smells sweeter and softer.
Which notes work well with clove?
Cinnamon, cardamom, saffron, rose, geranium, tobacco, incense, oud, patchouli, vanilla and amber are especially good partners.
Are clove perfumes only for winter?
No. Warm, dark blends suit cool weather, but citrus, flowers or green notes can give clove a lighter character.
